Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the film on Sept. 26. Richard Ramsey directed from his own script, which is a modern-day adaptation of the life and writings of Solomon, found in the Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes. Powell portrays a singer-songwriter as he struggles to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his father, a country music legend. He falls in love with a vineyard owner’s daughter (Faulkner) and writes a hit song, but his life and marriage begin to fall apart when he gets involved with another performer, played by Nicol-Thomas. Faith-based films are performing well at the U.S. box office; recent successes include Sony’s “Heaven Is for Real” with $83 million and “God’s Not Dead” with $59 million.
