A first look at Gerard Butler in an upcoming Marc Foster-directed action biopic film, "Machine Gun Preacher", has been unveiled. The photo sees Buttler as Sam Childers, a man who dedicates his life to rescue children who are kidnapped to become child soldiers in Sudan war zone.
Comparing Childers with other characters he's ever played in a movie, Butler told USA Today, "Those other roles were based on historic who became the stuff of legend, but Sam is a guy of our times." He continued, "There is more complexity in a modern-day character who's a drug addict and a biker turned businessman, missionary and soldier. You don't get roles like this very often."
"Machine Gun Preacher" tells a true story of Childers, a former gang biker who renounces his outlaw ways and embarks on a spiritual path. He becomes a warrior for the desperate and helpless children in a war-torn country in Africa. The film is also starring Michelle Monaghan, Michael Shannon and Kathy Baker.
