by Dan Gibson
It wasn't that long ago that the idea of a Christian movie brought up high school youth group video tapes warning of the dangers of hell. Recently, however, with films like Fireproof (which grossed $33,456,317 in theaters, making it the top independent film of 2008) filling the seats of theatres, Hollywood and theater owners are taking a second look at films about faith.

with John Robert Marlow
TERRY ROSSIO is the second-highest grossing screenwriter in the history of the medium. He prefers to write with a partner, which is almost invariably Ted Elliott. Together, they've written the screenplay and/or story for films such as Aladdin, Godzilla, The Mask of Zorro, The Legend of Zorro, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean 1 through 4 (so far), and National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Terry also co-wrote (with Bill Marsilii) the record-breaking Deja Vu spec script—which sold for $5.6 million.

with Ross Browne
 John Robert Marlow joined The Editorial Department as a book editor in 2006. In 2007, he helped launch TED’s Screen Division. He now serves as Director of Development for the Book and Screen Divisions. Ever mindful of the commercial synergy between books and screenplays, John has been instrumental in improving TED's service offerings in both arenas. A published novelist and optioned screenwriter, John has quickly become an especially valuable resource for novelists, screenwriters—and those who aspire to success in both fields.
