Background

In the September 2016 issue of Faith Filled Family Magazine, Randy LaHaye gave an interview and said that he was actually inspired by the Twilight vampire movie series in saying: "While I was watching Twilight, God gave me the idea to use those kids books and take some points out of them. I would create a brand new, fresh, YA version of Left Behind so that it could really speak to today's kids."

His grandfather Tim LaHaye was able to see a screening of the film before his passing and Randy reflected by saying "One of the proudest moments of my life was when my grandfather saw the movie and told me afterwards, "Finally, there's a movie about Left Behind that captured what made the books so successful.""

Sequels

Currently two sequels are planned with the working titles Rise of the Deceiver and The Rebellion Awakens with Rise expected to start filming in 2017.

Trivia

This is the first Left Behind film to not be connected to Cloud Ten Pictures
This film comes two years after the 2014 reboot and though they not connected, they could be seen as parallel as to the events of the Rapture.
