I think we’re finding more of the walls being broken down, where actors will step out and be involved.”įollowing is a partial transcript of my interview:īOATWRIGHT: One of the themes in the movie has to do with accidents not really being accidents.ĬOOK: If you’re a man or woman of faith, you believe that there’s an orchestrator behind everything. “There are some in Hollywood who are a little afraid of faith-based movies, but when one steps out to say ‘I’m doing it,’ others are thinking it must be OK.

“I think the story is what got to Robert Duvall,” Cook said. In a recent phone interview, I asked Cook how an independent, low-budget film containing Christian concepts attracted such an impressive Hollywood lineup. Also in the cast are Melissa Leo, Brian Geraghty, Kathy Baker and Deborah Ann Woll. There he is taken under wing by a local eccentric (Duvall) who helps him find his direction.

The G-rated film - which opens this weekend - begins with a young pro golfer (Black) going through a meltdown. In his film he uses sports as an effective metaphor: Although the setting is the world of golf, the story quickly reveals itself to be concerned with forgiveness, mercy and grace.
