E-mail for facts: [email protected] 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 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. Bob Crittenden Bob Crittenden [email protected] ROCK 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. Jamie Carper [email protected] Jamie Carper COUNTRY GREG MCDOUGAL & TAMMY COCHRAN 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. Jon Clarke Jon Clarke [email protected] 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. ‰3 The cmw is published as a service to Christian radio and is a ministry of Joyful Sounds.

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. NEWS 2ê 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 ccrb Page 4 May 28, 2008 www.ChristianMusicWeekly.com Top 20 SINGLES CHRISTIAN COUNTRY cmw May 28, 2008 Pts Spins Chg W/O Peak 5/21 5/28 Repts Title/Artist/Label Add Hvy Med Lgt 91.1 241 2.3 16 1 3 !

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.
