My book from Moody Publishers has been given an official title and, as far as I know, cover art! It will be titled The Message Behind the Movie: How To Engage With a Film Without Disengaging Your Faith, and should be released early next year (Spring quarter 2009) if everything goes well.
The book is based on my seminar of the same title which covers the basics of film interpretation and evaluation with additional chapters on applying these messages to spiritually-significant topics such as Philosophy, Theology, Religion, and Ethics.
And as Frank Turek likes to say, “All proceeds from this book will go to feed hungry children . . . mine!”
If you have a group interested in the seminar please visit: www.dougbeaumont.org/seminars.

Awesome! Looking forward to it. How would you say your book differs from _Hollywood Worldviews_?

HW rocks, and Brian is a friend of mine so we’ve actually discussed this. There will be some overlap in areas of interpretation since we both follow the standard model (Aristotle, Field, McKee, etc.) . However, I am spending more time on interpretation and will look into specific apologetic themes like truth, God, ethics, and scripture rather than worldview philosophies. It will be more of a conversational guide as well.

Not that I know of - it just makes more sense in the plural.
