Upcoming Movie "Old Fashioned" Brings to the Big Screen Love As Espoused by Scripture; Watch Trailer Here

Upcoming faith-based movie "Old Fashioned" is going to bring to the big screen romance and love as espoused by Scripture.  In a culture where many romantic movies and TV programs are marred by immorality, "Old Fashioned" is a breath of fresh air.  Touted as the new "chivalry is not dead" love film, this movie will be released next Valentine's Day weekend in 2015.  

"The timing of it all definitely provides a stark contrast-and that's the point," 'Old Fashioned' writer/director/star Rik Swartzwelder said, "The conversation should be pushed. Not all fantasy is harmless and not all paths lead to true and lasting love. We have two movies here, both about people with troubled pasts ... but both taking very different approaches to getting romance right."

The romantic-drama, 'Old Fashioned' centers on Clay Walsh (Swartzwelder), a former frat boy who gives up his carousing ways and now runs an antique shop in a small Midwestern college town.

There, he has become notorious for his lofty and outdated theories on love and romance. When Amber Hewson (Elizabeth Ann Roberts), a free-spirited young woman with a restless soul, drifts into the area and rents the apartment above his shop, she finds herself surprisingly drawn to his noble ideas, which are new and intriguing to her.

Clay, though he tries to fight and deny it, simply cannot resist being attracted to her spontaneous and passionate embrace of life. Ultimately, he must step out from behind his relational theories, and Amber must overcome her own fears and deep wounds, as the two of them, together, attempt the impossible: an "old-fashioned" courtship in contemporary America.

"The wheels of 'Old Fashioned' were in motion long before the 'Fifty Shades' book got to Hollywood," Swartzwelder said, "We didn't create our film in response to any other specific book or film, at all . . . but the decision to hold-off on our release so it could open alongside 'Fifty Shades'? Yes, that was indeed deliberate."

"We thought it was a unique opportunity to set up a film as antidote," he continued, "Think of a young woman you care about ... which love story would you wish for her?"

'Old Fashioned' Producer Nathan Nazario said that 'Fifty Shades' will attract the readers of the film's book and people's curiosity, but stated, "The 'Old Fashioned' audience will include people drawn to real life, real love. Of course, we're after conversations prompted by two contrasting takes on sex, love and romance ... on what men and women really want, and what it takes to get it."

'Old Fashioned' features Swartzwelder and Elizabeth Ann Roberts ('Heroes', 'House', 'Southland', 'Ragamuffin', 'Black Knight'). 

The film also stars Dorothy Silver ('The Shawshank Redemption', 'Promised Land').
