So it’s a question many have asked since Fireproof came out…”What’s the next Sherwood movie going to be about?”  Well…today a new website went active called thenextsherwoodmovie.com

Gotta love the video, haha! Visit the website and sign up for email updates so you can find out just what’s next for Sherwood and their awesome filmmaking ministry.

Here’s a little secret…if you want a sneak peak of the sneak peak…go put in your Flywheel DVD, turn on the commentary, and go to the very end.

For those of you who are subscribed to any of the Provident Films subscription lists, you received an email recently that included this at the bottom:

Coming Soon to Blu-ray Disc
This September, you will be able to see FIREPROOF and Facing the Giants in a way you’ve never been able to before: on Blu-ray Disc! That means you can soon bring home the high-quality version of these high-impact stories!

The Blu-ray versions of both FIREPROOF and Facing the Giants will be available wherever you purchase DVDs, including your favorite Christian retailer, beginning September 8.

That’s a pretty exciting deal considering both the films have been a smash on DVD given their market.  I’m looking forward to buying both and reviewing them when the time comes.  I’m curious to see how the films hold up on a 1080HD Blu-ray disc.  Facing the Giants was filmed in DVCPROHD on the Panasonic Varicam in 720p so it will be a bit softer.  Fireproof was also shot on the Varicam but was captured as they shot via the HDSDI to a Mac converting all the footage directly to 1080p Prores.  That means the film while from a 720p source, it’s of a much greater source quality than that of Giants.  For those of you who didn’t notice, the Fireproof DVD was given a horrible bitrate on the film itself causing all kinds of artifacting and such in the image, especially in the action sequences.  The bonus features had a higher bitrate than the film overall, so hopefully the BR Disc redeems the image quality that was lacking on the DVD.
