Redeeming Love to Hit UK Cinemas in September After US Box Office Success

Set amongst the turmoil of the California Gold Rush, Angel (Abigail Cowen) has faced a painful life, but finds her heart begins to mend as she falls in love with Michael (Tom Lewis), a young farmer who defies her bitter expectations. However, their relationship is tested by the harsh realities of their society and Angel’s troubled past.

From the outstanding success of the title in the US, grossing over 9 million at box office – REDEEMING LOVE, based on the bestselling novel by Francine Rivers, is a powerful story of relentless love and perseverance.  It is a life-changing story of the power of unconditional and all-consuming love. REDEEMING LOVE Is being released by Kaleidoscope and coming to cinemas on September 16, 2022.  REDEEMING LOVE shows there is no brokenness that love can’t heal.

Adapted from the bestselling novel by Francine Rivers, and with a cast including Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis, Nina Dobrev, and Eric Dane, REDEEMING LOVE is a life-changing tale of unconditional love and perseverance, following a young couple whose relationship clashes with the harsh realities of the California Gold Rush of 1850.

From the Producers of I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, GOD’S NOT DEAD and THE CASE FOR CHRIST, this powerful and timeless love story centres on a woman who knows nothing but betrayal. Having been sold into prostitution as a child, Angel – now experiencing love for the first time and facing demons that seem unsurmountable – runs from her new life, and the man she doesn’t think she deserves. Can Michael convince Angel that only she holds the power to choose the life she wants?

REDEEMING LOVE attracted an outstanding cast including Abigail Cowen (I STILL BELIEVE, Fate: The Wix Saga, Stranger Things, The Fosters) as Angel, Tom Lewis (Gentleman Jack) as Michael Hosea, Famke Janssen (X-MEN, TAKEN, GOLDENEYE) as the Duchess and Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy, The Last Ship) as the Duke. D.J. Caruso directs. Caruso is noted for feature film and television credits that include I AM NUMBER FOUR, EAGLE EYE and DISTURBIA, among many others.

A FILM MEANT TO BE MADE 
It’s hard to review the story of how REDEEMING LOVE came to be filmed without thinking this was meant to be.

For years, Producer Cindy Bond chased the rights, but every time she came close, another producer had them. In 2015, she met and developed a friendship with writer Francine Rivers. They found they had the same vision for what this film needed to be.

Landing a director with D.J. Caruso’s big-budget film experience appeared similarly meant to be.  “Cindy got a call randomly saying D.J. Caruso’s wife read the book, and he wanted to meet with us about possibly directing,” Producer Brittany Yost said. “The timing of it was crazy because we hadn’t even done a single offer to any other director. And he was wanting to meet with us to basically pitch us on his vision for the film. So next thing we know, we’re meeting with him and his wife; his wife is talking more passionately than anybody about her connection to the book and that D.J.’s just as passionately connected. And next thing we know, we said, ‘OK, let’s make this happen. Let’s partner together and make this movie.'”
