Fans rally in support of Chapman’s family
ALCOA TN – A local Christian Radio
station is asking listeners to leave
messages for the Chapman family on
their website or make donations to the
Shoahanna Hope Foundation.
Chapman’s five year old daughter
Maria died May 21 after being hit by an
SUV driven by a teenaged brother.
The Chapman’s adopted Maria and
two other daughters from China. They
also have three biological children.
Steven and his wife were strong
supporters of International adoption and
started the Shoahanna Hope Foundation
to hep other families who wanted to
adopt.
Love 89’s website (love89.org)
includes a message board to send
condolences to the family as well as a
video from YouTube showing Steve
Curtis and Maria washing dishes. The
video was shot two months before the
accident.
At approximately 5pm on the
afternoon of Wednesday May 21st, Maria
Sue Chapman, 5 years old and the
youngest daughter to Steven and Mary
Beth Chapman was struck accidently in
the driveway of the Chapman home in
Franklin, TN by one of their teenage
sons. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt
Childrens Hospital in Nashville,
transported by LifeFlight, but died of
her injuries there. Maria is one of the
close knit family’s six children and one
of their three adopted daughters.
Billy Graham Flick Underway
For more than half a century, his name, face and voice
have been among the most recognizable on the planet. But not
once in all that time has Hollywood turned Billy Graham’s life
into a feature film.
His story has rise, but no fall. Celebrity, but no scandal.
Where's the tension that sells tickets?
But now, as the Charlotte-born Graham approaches his
90th birthday in the silent seclusion of his mountaintop home
in Montreat, two movie producers with a record of making
family and faith-based fare are busy on a biopic that will
dramatize parts of his life on the big screen.
Not the parts where Graham pastors to U.S. presidents or
preaches to millions around the world. Producers Larry
Mortorff and Bill McKay were more interested in what
happened before all that.
“Everybody knows who he is,” Mortorff says. “Nobody
knows how he got there.”
In the getting there, he and McKay saw the greatest story
never told: a human tale of a young man who found his grand
purpose in life only after being tested by rejection, failure, even
doubt.
Billy: The Early Years, the working title, will hit theaters
Oct. 15.
Shooting on the $6 million movie recently wrapped in
middle Tennessee.
Name cast members include Oscar winner Martin Landau,
one-time Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner – producer Mortorff
is her fourth ex-husband – and Jennifer O’Neill. The director:

I Know That My Redeemer Lives
From the album Dare to Dream
Independent [email protected]
This Christian music duo, consisting of British-American sisters
Elissa and Becca Leander, brings a Point of Grace-meets-Barlow Girl
feel. The most notable aspect of the release, I think, is the clarity of the
vocals, with an ever-so-slight edge, but a pleasant quality that
underscores the tenderness of the lyrics. The possibility of an intimate
love relationship with God is the central theme here, and through a wellcrafted, memorable melody, the message definitely makes it mark.
JASON BURTON
Long Live the King
From the album Breaking Through
Independent [email protected]
When I first saw the title, I first thought of
the old Peter Penrose song by the same name
(anybody playing that?), but I digress. I
definitely did not associate the name Jason
Burton with the duo named Belief, which had a
couple of Inspo hits a while back (With Knees
Bowed still gets airplay on our network –
Penrose does, too, come to think of it). Well, as
soon as I heard the voice, I did recognize it, and
the song is really good – it’s vertical, it’s
reflective upon the nature of God and His
preeminence, and you can sing along with it.

SUPERCHICK
Hey Hey
From the album Rock What You Got
Inpop Records [email protected]
Hey, Hey! Why are you not playing this song? This is great Rock
radio material. An affirmation to those who hear
the beat of a different drummer. Superchick has
always been known for their uplifting, positive,
you-are-somebody-so-take-charge lyrics. This
first Rock single from their latest CD Rock What
You Got drives the point home with some well
placed power chords, a memorable chorus line
coupled with that trade-mark Superchick sound.
This one will be a guaranteed audience favorite
in concert so get a jump on this tune now over
the air and Hey Hey, rock what you got.

Loving You
found on HMG #142 615.248.8105 x236
What a excellent mix of voices. In a ballad
that will probably be used at weddings or
whenever a spouse wants to honor the other,
they tell each other what it is like to love one
another and what they have done for each other.
In this song you get the impression that they are
also singing to The Lord. Personally I feel this
song both fits in both Christian Country as well
as Mainstream Country Radio.

Boone-based Robby Benson, a teen heartthrob in the late
1970s who now works mostly behind the camera and has
longtime Charlotte and Carolinas connections.
For six weeks, inside old churches and homes, under
tents and trees, they recreated scenes that shaped Graham’s
life between 1934 and 1949.
The Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association had no involvement with the movie. CEO
Franklin Graham, the evangelist’s son, recently told the
Observer that the filmmakers seemed to take “great pains to
hide (the script) from us ... I cannot say how authentic or
accurate it is because we don’t know.”
In response, McKay said he and Mortorff would be
“honored” to show the film to the Grahams before it’s
released.
McKay said they hadn’t made contact because they
were “advised” that the Graham family never endorsed
books or films, so didn’t request any approval “out of
respect for Dr. Graham, his legacy and that policy.”
As for accuracy and tone of the independent film,
Mortorff said minor details have been changed to accommodate its two-hour running time, but that it offers a “proper,
well-researched, very positive take on young Billy Graham.”
Bankrolled by a London-based company that’s new to
movies, the film is hardly a big-budget blockbuster. McKay
says it will get a full-dress national release, but acknowledges that it is likely to appeal most to Christian audiences.
“(Graham) is one of their own and they will get to see a
piece of his life very few Christians know about,” McKay
says. “That’s exciting enough to them that they’ll give it the
initial push, just like they did (Mel Gibson’s) The Passion of
the Christ.”
The producers are already reaching out to pastors,
Christian radio listeners and young fans of Christian, gospel
and country music.
Josh Turner, a big-voiced country music star, was
signed to play George Beverly Shea, Graham’s long-time
baritone soloist on his crusades.

Billy Graham Flick Underway
Mortorff also says he purposely hired actors who are
Christians to play young Billy, wife Ruth and friend Charles
Templeton, an evangelist himself until he began to disbelieve what he was preaching. In between takes, the trio –
Armie Hammer, Stephanie Butler and Kristoffer Polaha –
said they sometimes joined together for prayer.
“You would hear three really humble people who come
before the Lord and just ask him to help us be available to
whatever he wants to speak through us,” says Butler, 23.
She attended a Graham crusade in 1994 in Atlanta, when
her father, ex-Atlanta Brave Brett Butler, gave witness on
stage.
Graham’s first years were spent in Charlotte, the setting
for the first third of the movie. Wagner plays his devout
mother, Morrow, and Hammer as Billy suits up in his
Sharon High School baseball uniform.
The most ambitious “local” re-enactment: Dr.
Mordecai Ham’s fiery 1934 revival on Central Avenue.
That’s where an initially skeptical Graham, then a teenager
living on his family’s dairy farm, formally accepted Jesus
into his life by answering the altar call.
Filmed under a tent on the Wilson County Fairground
in Lebanon, Tenn., the all-night shoot included more than
400 extras, a fleet of classic Fords and Chevys from the
’30s, and a robust performance by actor Cliff Bemis as
Ham.
Recalling the drama
Young Billy Graham spills out of the green pickup –
the one with “Graham Bros. Dairy” painted on its sides –
and parks himself in a rickety wooden chair near the back of
a tent packed with people.It’s a steamy summer night in
1934, and Billy and his teenage buddies have come to see
the man all of Charlotte is talking about: Dr. Mordecai
Ham, a bull-necked traveling evangelist who’s up on stage,
thundering on about sin.
Billy looks amused when Ham darts from his pulpit to
shout down an outraged heckler. But then the preacher
heads his way, locking eyes with Billy as he approaches on
a trail of sawdust.
“What brings you here, son?” he asks. “You feel an
emptiness you can’t fill with a fancy car or a pretty girl?
You sometimes feel lost? You're not alone.”
Then, suddenly, Ham is screaming again, telling the
tent crowd that they’ll all DIE! in their sin if they don’t
come forward, right now, and commit their lives to Christ.
As the barked invitation gives way to a choir member’s
angelic solo of Just As I Am, the spotlight shifts to Billy.
The tall, wavy-haired 15-year-old farm boy rises from his
chair, then takes those first steps on a path that will take
him to every corner of the globe as the most noted Christian
evangelist since Paul.
“And...cut!”
Soul-searching
Billy co-producer Mortorff ducks into a tiny coffee
shop just off the square in Watertown, Tenn. – a churchy
burg whose downtown, complete with gazebo, will pose as
Charlotte’s uptown, circa 1934.
As he settles in with his latte and a slice of pie, the thin,
silver-haired Mortorff, whose resume includes nearly 30 TV
and feature films, is the picture of laid-backness. His
answers are pithy.
His take on the young Billy?
“This was a hometown boy growing up in a Norman
Rockwell world, coming to grips with his talent and finding
his voice.”
Mortorff says he and McKay, whose mother taught
Sunday school with the late Ruth Graham outside Chicago,
see their film as one for and about young people.
Especially young Christians, who buy movie tickets and
soundtracks but also take seriously the kind of soul-searching that’s at the heart of the picture.
“We wanted it to be a young person’s story about ‘What
am I going to do with my life? If I have these strong
yearnings, what am I going to do with them?’” Mortorff
says. “It’s a movie about a hero of the 20th century, told
through the eyes of a young person who’s surrounded by
young people.”
The movie’s music – the soundtrack goes on sale in
August – is also aimed at that demographic. Besides Turner,
producers wanted a teenage version of Allison Kraus – highpitched, angelic voice – to sing Just As I Am during Billy’s
conversion scene in Charlotte. They found her in Sierra
Hull, 15, who beat out 100 others.
And to produce the country-gospel songs by Turner and
others, Mortorff and his partners signed up John Carter
Cash, the 38-year-old son of Johnny Cash, a close friend of
Graham’s and a performer at some of his crusades. The
younger Cash is even recording one of his daddy’s songs for
the movie.
Being close to all this musical talent is one of the
reasons Billy: The Early Years is being made in Tennessee,
not in Graham’s native North Carolina. Watertown and
Lebanon are just outside Nashville.

Preparing for the role
How do you prepare to play the young Billy
Graham?Armie Hammer did all the standard stuff: worked
with a dialect coach to nail the Carolina drawl, read
Graham’s autobiography, Just As I Am, and watched hours
of crusade and interview footage.
But he also did something else: read the Bible, especially the story of King David, about the unassuming
shepherd boy who’s picked out for greatness by God.
“It’s hard to get up there (as Billy) and say those words
of purity if you’re not coming from that place on your own,”
says Hammer, 21, the great-grandson of famed American
industrialist Armand Hammer.
In his next movie, Warner Bros.’ Justice League,
Hammer – 6 feet 4, with chiseled movie star looks – is set to
play Batman.
No villains tried to stamp him out in Billy, but his
character does have to deal with perilous emotional combat: ‰ 13

STAND-OUT PROMOTIONS
This Week: Looking at Relationships
Hey Gang!
Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend!
It’s a tough question. Most promotions are planned
around the advertiser or sponsor. After all, they pay the
bills.
If you haven’t seen this report yet, go to www.barna.org
and check out their update titled, “Americans Identify Their
Most Important Relationships.” (March 17, 2008, The Barna
Group of Ventura, California, www.barna.org)
How can you successfully connect your client’s
product/event/service to the listener… and to her family?
As you might expect, folks polled said that their most
important relationships are with their families.
The better you connect with the family, the better
your promotion… and your station!
While not surprising, it does drive home a point that’s
worth remembering: Successful radio is about relationships
wit. Is our station keeping listeners in touch with their
families?
Right now, you’re probably kicking off all your summer
promotions, and planning Fall/Winter ’08 events. But there’s
still time to ask yourself, “How are my promotions benefiting
my listener’s family?”
3ê
But, in reality, we’re nothing without our listeners.
Have a great week!
Bill
Bill Arbuckle is Communications
Manager for a major Christian media
organization.
Bill Arbuckle
Billy Graham Flick Underway
getting rejected by a girl he loves,
butting heads with the president of
fundamentalist Bob Jones University,
giving a first sermon that’s a disaster.
But the biggest confrontation
Graham faces is from his pal
Templeton. Starting as close friends
and as traveling evangelists for Youth
for Christ, Templeton seems to be the
brighter star. But he eventually
becomes an agnostic – and labels
Graham's faith “intellectual suicide.”
Graham decides, in the movie's
climax under a grove of trees in
“California,” to cast aside his doubts
and believe what the Bible says. In the
final scene, Landau as Templeton rises
from his deathbed to embrace the
visiting Billy – played by Graham’s
real-life cousin, Bill Graham, a retired
Christian bookseller in Nashville.
“You made the right choice,”
Templeton tells Billy.
That’s just before the film ends.
But with the real Billy Graham
now in the twilight of his life, the new
movie could turn out to be just the
beginning of interest in him as a bigscreen subject.
McKay, who’s next working with
Mortorff on a movie about Jesus’
resurrection, says he’s heard of four
other Billy Graham projects in the
works.
And Marty Shiel, whose British
company, Solex Productions, is putting
up the money for Billy: The Early
Years, is talking sequel – or sequels.
Says Shiel: “We’re leaving the
door wide open.”
Controversy averted
The producers’ original choice to
play the preacher who brought Billy
Graham to Christ: John Hagee.
Yes, the controversial Texas
televangelist repudiated last week by
Sen. John McCain after a recording
surfaced that had Hagee saying Hitler
and the Holocaust had been part of
God’s plan to drive the Jews back to
Palestine.
The movie’s producers said a
scheduling conflict was the reason
Hagee ended up not playing Dr.
Mordecai Ham, in a tent revival scene
set in Charlotte in 1934.
But the film’s director, Robby
Benson, wanted a real actor and was
put off by controversial Hagee, who
had also attacked the Catholic Church.
“I wouldn’t be directing if he had
the part,” Benson told the Observer. “I
might have gotten fired. But that
would have been all right by me. I’m
glad the producers made the right
choice (in recasting the key role).”
Benson, an actor himself, said
Hagee would have distracted audiences. “This movie is about Billy, it’s
about goodness,” he said. “It’s a
powerful scene and we don’t want
people watching it say, `Hey, wait,
isn’t that . . .?’”
After Hagee’s exit, Benson
recruited friend Cliff Bemis – star of
the touring production of Tony-winner
The Drowsy Chaperone – to play Ham.
In his day, the real Ham was also
controversial, for attacking local
clergy and spewing anti-Semitic and
racist comments.
