The successful hit moviemakers the Kendrick brothers are gearing up to release a new faith-based film centered on the power of prayer called 'Movie Five'.

Prayer is reportedly a regular practice for many Americans in today's society and Alex and Stephen Kendrick intended to cultivate their audience with their latest witty, heart felt, humorous film. The creators of the hit faith films 'Fireproof' and 'Courageous,' have wrapped up shooting for their highly anticipated fifth movie, amusingly entitled 'Movie Five'.

'Movie Five' is being pegged a family drama with humor and heart focused on the power of prayer and its primary role in the Christian life. The synopsis describes that the film is about learning to fight the right kinds of battles. The movie follows Tony and Elizabeth Jordan, a middle-class couple, and their daughter, Danielle, as they struggle through personal, marital and spiritual issues. Their lives are forever changed after Elizabeth meets an elderly widow who helps her develop a secret prayer room in her home.

Pre-production began in 2013 and is currently in post production for a 2015 Fall release.

"We made this film to inspire, challenge and motivate families to fight the right kind of battles and to fight them the best way possible," said Director and Co-Writer Alex Kendrick in the film's press release. "We have plans for everything-careers, finances, health. But what about a strategy for prayer for our lives, our spouses and our children?"

"We're going after something here that could radically improve our culture, and moviegoers will experience it within the context of an inspiring and emotional story," Producer and Co-Writer Stephen Kendrick added, "Prayer is so much more than people realize. It can powerfully affect every problem and need in our lives if engaged from within a vibrant relationship with God."

Provident Films and AFFIRM Films partnered with the brothers to distribute their fifth movie. The film features New York Times best-selling author and Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer in her film debut.

"I'm honored to be working with the Kendricks, and to be part of a story that encourages people to pray," Shirer said in the release, "Prayer is the most powerful weapon the church has to unlock the activity of heaven on earth."

Filmed in and around Charlotte, N.C., this is the first Kendrick Brothers project shot outside their hometown of Albany, Ga. It drew more than 1,000 volunteers from 85 churches in the Charlotte area who stepped up and reached across denominational lines to support the production.
