Ving Rhames – Star Power at Cloud Ten Pictures!
Cloud Ten Pictures is one of the only independent Christian film production companies in the world to have such a high level of amassed star power in our films. Know of any other?
Sure there are great films out there where stars get discovered, but at the end of the day, statistically it is “star” first followed closely by “story” that initially drives people to the box office.
We at Cloud Ten Pictures have a brilliant array of stars in our lineup as well as good stories. You’ve probably heard about some of our stars and films but I’m sure you most likely haven’t seen them all.
I can tell you that when you combine these both stars and stories you get a great selection of films to take a look at.
So over yet another series of posts, I’ll feature some of the talent we have been blessed to work with at Cloud Ten Pictures.
Star: Ving Rhames
Sure, many of you might know the gifted African American actor Ving Rhames, from movies like Mission Impossible 1, 2, 3 and Pulp Fiction. But have you seen him in Cloud Ten Pictures latest production SAVING GOD? Known for playing a tough as nails character, Ving Rhames shines like the star that he is in this challenging role!
Story:
Convicted felon Reverend Armstrong Cane (Rhames) returns back to his neighborhood a changed man looking to take over his father’s old church. The neighborhood is tough and full of drugs and gangs. Through Armstrong’s tough demeanor and strong faith, he tries to make a difference with Norris Johns (Dwain Murphy) a youth on the edge of falling into a lifetime of crime. But through the journey, Armstrong must deal with his own past history of violence and crime and make sure that he, himself doesn’t fall.
Sound interesting? It is!
If you are a fan of good urban dramas that feature the star power of an actor like Ving Rhames then SAVING GOD is for you.

Saving God is a wonderful film, one thing that struck me is that I can take this film & show it to folks who would never see a "Christian" film, there is a certain stigma associated with them. Be it the quality, storyline, scripting, acting, whatever, quite often, Christian film has indeed suffered, consequently so has the viewing audience. That being said, Saving God suffers none of this! The story, acting, dialogue, characters, all great! To have a prominent actor in a Christian film is such a gift, the name will lead others to the film & who knows what can happen then?
So, since Eric has not told you enough about the film or Vings role, it seems you will have to acquire a copy of the movie to see for yourself! You will be so glad you did! & then remember, share it!
I totally agree with the last comment by Francine. I hope people will appreciate "Christian" Film. They'll see what their been missing so far.
