Sorbo has been making Christian-themed movies that largely appeal to conservatives for several years now, a choice that others say can limit an actor’s opportunities in Hollywood - Kelsey Grammer was once threatened by a producer who demanded he donate money to Democrats, for example, while several Hollywood liberals admitted their biases in recorded interviews. Sorbo is still working on a distribution deal but he expects the film to open in November 2017.

“It’s been likened to Ghost meets Heaven Is for Real, with a dash of God’s Not Dead,” S orbo said of the film, which was made on a $3 million production budget. Sorbo said he, Sam and Gordon flew from Los Angeles to New York to pitch Hannity the movie, now in postproduction, and they had a deal within an hour. “Then Sam and I, as producers, realized the amount of money we had just saved by casting our own kids.” “They blew me away with their auditions,” said Sorbo. The couple’s two young sons, who take acting lessons from former Baywatch star Erika Eleniak, also have roles in Let There Be Light. Kevin and Sam Sorbo met when she appeared in several Hercules episodes, and the couple has worked together sporadically since then. The movie, dubbed Let There Be Light, also stars Sorbo’s wife, Sam, who co-wrote the script with Dan Gordon.

The longtime star on Fox News could reveal more about his plans on Wednesday during a segment on his show, Hannity, where Sorbo is booked as a guest. As for Hannity, he is making his first foray into filmmaking as executive producer, but it won’t be his last, according to insiders, as he is pursuing other projects.
