First Look: Hayden Christensen’s ’90 Minutes In Heaven’ Gets September Release Via Samuel Goldwyn Films
September 11 will see the limited release of the faith film in 800 theaters, through a distribution deal with Samuel Goldwyn Films. Based on Don Piper’s New York Times best-selling book of the same name, the Giving Films feature stars Christensen (Star Wars) and Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) as Don and Eva Piper. Michael Polish (The Astronaut Farmer) directs.
The tale begins on January 18, 1989, when a semi-tractor truck crushed Piper (Christensen) in his car. Declared dead by the first rescue workers to arrive on the scene of the collision, Piper’s body lay under a tarp for the next 90 minutes. At the same time, Don’s soul, according to his account, experienced love, joy and life as he’d never known before, and he believed he was in Heaven. When Piper eventually was revived, his bliss was replaced by excruciating pain and emotional turmoil. With the support and prayers of his wife Eva (Bosworth), their three children and friends near and far, Piper clung to his faith in God and fought to regain a semblance of his previous life. The Piper family’s story is one of perseverance and overcoming the challenges of life — and death.
“We formed Giving Films to tell quality faith-friendly stories with top production values,” said Giving Films founder Rick Jackson, one of the movie’s producers. “Samuel Goldwyn Films on distribution is a welcome extension of our drive for quality.” Giving Films funnels 100 percent of profits to charities.
“90 Minutes In Heaven is the story of a man holding on to what he knows to be true in the midst of great physical and emotional trials,” Meyer Gottlieb, president of Samuel Goldwyn Films, said. “This is exactly the type of story Goldwyn wants to help tell.”
