The Rapture gets a reboot

[Rev. Rye]

I'm glad to hear this. Nicholas Cage has been the fucking kiss of death when it comes to remakes. Two films I love (Wings of Desire and The Wicker Man) were ghastly travesties as American remakes. Common denominator? That's right: good ol' Nick! Perhaps Cage's involvement in this latest farce will prove so bad that even Bible-thumpers throw up in their mouths when they see it.

Really, Nicholas Cage was the sole redeeming quality in the Wicker Man remake. His ridiculous acting made what would have been a torturous remake of a great film into the so bad it's good hit of 2006.

On to the film, really, the Left Behind series of books is one of the worst series of books I've ever read; And, seriously, even the Cloud Ten films were a noticeable improvement on the book series. Granted, I doubt it'll be the great art LaHaye and Jenkins see it as, but, from what I can tell, I can see no way this film won't end up as hilarious.

Also, if you're interested in seeing Left Behind, but can't be bothered to see the whole thing, watch a review by Northern Ireland's favourite lesbian supervillian/dictator/film critic, Diamanda Hagan:
