Aug 13 2008 'Fireproof' Keeps Getting Better and Better
Inspired by the Fireproof poster (and really, who could not be?), IWS reader Adam looked into who actress Erin Bethea was, and why she had earned the privilege of costarring in a religious fireman movie with Kirk Cameron. As you'd suspect, Erin Bethea is no one worth knowing. BUT, finding her site did lead to the official Fireproof site, which is so, so worthwhile.

No, Fred Durst made a Ice Cube-supported inspirational comedy based on the true story of an adolscent girl quarterback facing discrimination based on her gender that has a title that implies it's about a rag-tag group of underdog athletes and their zany, unlikely rise to the championship. But it's still no less confusing that the leader of Limp Bizkit was given such a responsibility, or that the trailer is more like grueling Cliff Notes than a teaser.
Thanks to Kyle for the tip, and for tipping me off to Durst's next project: Screwballz! (The Jackie Robinson Story).
