New Faith-Based Movie "Miracles From Heaven" Opens March 16

Jennifer Garner

Faith-based Christian movie "Miracles from Heaven," is opening in theaters on Mar. 16. The film is based on the true-to-life experience of Christy Beam and tells how her young daughter miraculously recovered from a rare illness when she took a horrific fall. The movie stars Jennifer Garner and Queen Latifah, and is produced by DeVon Franklin. 

Set in Burleson, Texas, in 2011, the film centers on a 12-year-old girl named Anna (Kylie Rogers), daughter of Christy Beam (Jennifer Garner). Anna is suffering from a pseudo-obstruction motility disorder and is unable to eat, using feeding tubes for nutrition. One day, she has a near-death experience, after falling into the hollow of a tree and suffering only scratches. When she is subsequently examined at Boston Children's Hospital, no evidence of the chronic illness is found,  Everything changes in an instant when Anna tells an amazing story of a visit to heaven after surviving a headlong tumble into a tree. Her family and doctors become even more baffled when the young girl begins to show signs of recovering from her fatal condition. 

The film was directed by Patricia Riggen and produced by Joe Roth, T.D. Jakes and DeVon Franklin, the same producing team behind Heaven Is for Real. That film, directed by Randall Wallace, became one of the profitable movies at the studio last year, grossing $101.3M on a relatively small budget.The book Miracles From Heaven (Hachette) was written by Christy Beam, the mother of the girl, and adapted by Randy Brown (Trouble With The Curve) who is repped by Anonymous, UTA and attorney David Fox.
