Faith-Based 'The Reason' Gets Film Adaptation

The Reason by William Sirl is making the jump from the page to the screen with a film that will star Oscar Award-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr. The novel was originally published by Thomas Nelson in 2012, but Sirls acquired the rights to the original manuscript and will re-release the book through Broadstreet Publishing on July 12. 

Gossett, who won an Oscar who his role in 1982's An Officer and a Gentlemen, will portray Pastor Jim in The Reason, which follows the residents of a small town whose lives intersect through divine intervention. The film will also star Beverly Todd and Tatyana Ali, and the release date is to be determined.
