Hollywood is of course primarily interested in making money, so when it looks to Christian
audiences as a source of income, they tend to go to the Bible for source material.
That creates a potential problem, as the upcoming story of Noah reveals, as after a couple of screenings - one to Christians in Arizona, and another to Jews in New York - it was found it to be a use of Biblical material to portray the flood as the result of climate change. I'm not kidding you. That is the reported theme of the ark and flood story from test screenings.
Instead of sin and rebellion against God, it is the "disrespect" of the environment that caused God to flood the earth.
The director of the film, Darren Aronofsky, even identified Noah as the "first environmentalist."
If Hollywood attempts to go the route of lying about what the Bible actually says, and layers its liberal lies onto the narrative, Christians must and will totally oppose the film, and not only stay away in droves, but blast the fictional Hollywood account of the story as an outrage against them.
It would be better for Hollywood to not make these films than to make them and be perceived as a slap in the face to believers in Jesus Christ.
Christians aren't beggars that are just thankful to get the notice of Hollywood. If it wants to make movies based upon the Bible, than it needs to remain true to the Scriptures, not recreate them in their own image.
This is the usual strategy of Satan, to use the scriptures in a perverted way to confuse the ignorant and unlearned. We need to be vigilant and respond accordingly if they attempt to use the Bible to distort God and confuse weaker believers.
If the early responses to the Noah film are accurate, Hollywood is already making a huge mistake; hopefully one it will pay for through huge losses.
It even makes me wonder if it is purposefully done in order to keep the demand for Christian films under wraps in order to keep good stories from being told. That would be done by making a film Hollywood knows would be negative to Christians, giving it the appearance they aren't a legitimate market to cater to.
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11
