The 'LEFT BEHIND' film released a full-length trailer revealing more gripping scenes as fans anxiously anticipate the film's October 3 launch date.

It has been eight years since the last installment of the original 'LEFT BEHIND' series. Now, back with a bigger budget and an A-list celebrity cast, the upcoming movie is already generating a buzz and giving people a fear of missing the rapture.

This apocalyptic thriller is directed by Vic Armstrong and written by Paul LaLonde and John Patus. The star studded cast includes Nicolas Cage, playing the lead role of Rayford Steele, Chad Michael Murray playing the role of Buck Williams (Kirk Cameron in the original remake), television actress Lea Thompson, and actress Cassi Thomson, among many others.

The newest trailer showcases an emphasis on Cage and Thomson's characters and their relationship as father/daughter in the midst of such tragedy throughout the world. The trailer shows the chaos (plane crashes, explosions, riots...etc.) that ensues once millions vanish.

'LEFT BEHIND' follows the epic story of a group of survivors after millions of people suddenly vanish and the world is spun into chaos and destruction in its wake. The story is based on the prophesied events of the Rapture described by John in the book of Revelation.

Cloud Ten Pictures, who created the original trilogy of films, is hoping to bring the film to a more mainstream audience. The upcoming film's budget is reportedly around 15 million dollars.

The original 'LEFT BEHIND' movie was released in 2000, and was an independent Christian film based on the novel series of the same name, written by Tim LaHaye, and Jerry B. Jenkins. It opened seventeenth in the nation and was the No. 1 selling video in America in its first week of release, beating out 'Toy Story 2' and 'The Green Mile'.
