BACKGROUND:
The TV series is based on the first book of the "Left Behind" series
phenomenon that has sold over 50 million copies combined. The plot
will focus on the inner-workings of the Antichrist's administration,
after the rapture has occurred, and the truth-seeking activities of an
underground Christian movement led by a New York City police officer.
The series will be broadcast only in Canada, but it will be available
on DVD and VHS across the US - with initial distribution at least
within the Christian marketplace. Actors Janaya Stephens and Gordon
Currie, from the "Left Behind" films, will star in the series. Further
details at: www.cloudtenpictures.com (select Television tab).
Cloud Ten Pictures released two feature-length films based on the
book series. Both "Left Behind" films have been extremely successful.
The latest release, "Left Behind II: Tribulation Force," debuted at #2
behind Spider Man on Nielsen's VideoScan report for November 3, 2002.
Its predecessor, "Left Behind: The Movie" (produced in association
with Namesake Entertainment), was the best selling video in America in
its first week of release and won the Best Selling Title of the Year
by an Independent Studio in 2001.
