T.D. Jakes' Woman Thou Art Loosed ~ The Movie
Check this out - when you can turn it up and listen to what's going on in this trailer.
Click on the link below to see the trailer!
In case you haven't heard T. D. Jakes is releasing a "Woman Thou Art Loosed" movie. The movie was first previewed at the MegaFest. Hope you can view the trailer. The release is scheduled for October.
http://www.reallygoodfilms.com/trail...oosed_high.wmv
The trailer does not work for me  but here is an article:
WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED
Michelle Jordan ..... Kimberly Elise
Cassie ..... Loretta Devine
Twana ..... Debbi Morgan
Todd ..... Michael Boatman
Reggie ..... Clifton Powell
Nicole ..... Isalis DeLeon
Pervis ..... Sean Blakemore
Eli ..... Ricky Harris
Bishop T.D. Jakes ..... Himself
A young woman's ordeal with a legacy of rape, abuse, poverty, drug addiction and prostitution is bluntly conveyed in "Woman Thou Art Loosed." Frankly religious and therapeutically intended but confrontational and stylistically unvarnished, indie production is notable for Kimberly Elise's ferocious lead performance and for the bigscreen exposure pic affords the charismatic Bishop T.D. Jakes, who plays himself and upon whose works the film is based. Considering Jakes' wide following, pic should find a sizeable built-in audience among the church-affiliated Christian public, and to a certainly extent beyond that in the black community, before moving on to a sturdy run in homevid. Opening with the startling scene of a woman making her way to the front of a giant religious revival conducted by Jakes and firing several shots with unseen results, Stan Foster's screenplay recounts the downward spiral of Michelle Jordan's (Elise) life and her halting efforts to reclaim it when the pastor wins her a furlough from prison on condition she attend one of his three-day revivals.

Sounds Good! WHen I listen to the CD I feel like I can "see" what he's talking about anyway... This should be a good one.

Saw the preview at the He-Motion service in LA. Looks like it will be interesting.

I heard the preview on the radio this morning. I saw the stage play a few years ago and honestly cannot imagine it as a movie. I probably won't go see it.

Ideal: when it pertains to the play, is it as "chitlin' circuit-ish" as the radio ads sound?

Yes, it is, kinda. I hate to put it under that label, because I actually loved the play. But it's definitely not The Phantom of the Opera, lol.
This is why I can't imagine it done on film. This morning on the radio, Loretta Devine just sounded like she was onstage. I just can't see it as a movie. I need to see a preview on the TV to see what it even looks like.

The TV commercials don't look all that bad. They only show on BET here. Does anyone know if this will be released nationally, or will I have to wait for video?

The pastor of the church I attend spoke with TD Jakes this weekend who said that it is a national release. I will go to support the film and the message.

I checked the theaters in my region and it will not be showing this Friday. Unless they are still updating, but usually they have the schedules for the entire week including the new movies coming out. The closest one to me is in another state. 
It is a limited release. You can check the wtalthemovie.com website and it will list the theaters.
