I Still Believetells the story of a romance for the ages , and a faith that get one mankind through his dark days . Based on Christian player Jeremy Camp ’s memoir , the film explore his marriage ceremony to his first wife Melissa and his experiences after her death .
While KJ Apa and Britt Robertson play the young couple and are the center of the floor , they are aided by a prima supporting dramatis personae of respected role player . Gary Sinise play Jeremy ’s Father-God , and he shared details of his and Apa ’s onscreen dynamic with Screen Rant in a recent interview . He also excuse why he was so moved by the love Jeremy and Melissa share .
Gary , this movie is amazing . So touching in so many different ways . I ’m not emotional dude , but it got me the right way here in the heart . Were you intimate with Jeremy Camp ’s tale prior to jumping onto the undertaking ?
Gary Sinise : I was not , but I was bear on by the write up when I read the script . I make love Andy and Jon Erwin ; great guy , great filmmakers . I loved I Can Only Imagine , and I ’ve known them for quite a while . I in reality recount one of their documentaries a while ago on Steve McQueen . When they send it to me , I show it , and I was very moved by it . The timing work out ; everything kind of come together , and I was able to do it .
You bring Jeremy ’s male parent in the piece . Can you speak to me about their relationship in the film ?
Gary Sinise : Yeah , they have a faithful relationship plain . KJ is so good in the picture . As soon as I met him , it was a very easy working relationship that we had together . It was not hard to wreak with KJ , so we just fell the right way into it . I came in ; they were already shooting . They ’d already been shooting for a while . I came for seven days and just fall right into it with him .
There ’s so much to take off from this . It ’s not just a faith - base movie , but it ’s also a nifty love story as well . What are you desire audiences take away when they see this motion-picture show ?
Gary Sinise : I cogitate it ’s a very peculiar love story . Unlike , you know - it has such philia to it . And the two untested the great unwashed , the way they get together , and the eccentric of someone that they are in the movie … This is establish on honest life sentence , you know . So , KJ and Britt together just institute this beautiful warmth .
It ’s unlike your typical lovemaking story of two people get together in college and hanging out and going to the parties and doing all that stuff and nonsense . There ’s something that happens between the two of them , and it take place very chop-chop . And obviously , based on a true story , this all kind of happened just within a brace of years , period of time . When you watch it , and you know it ’s rightful - you know it ’s ground on truth - it ’s even more brawny , I recollect , because of that .
My beginner ’s a Vet , and I roll in the hay you have the Gary Sinise Foundation . Can you spill the beans to me a small piece about that ?
Gary Sinise : Yeah , what branch is he ?
He was a Marine .
Gary Sinise : Marine ? Semper Fi . I have a draw of old hand in my family , as well , and began working with veterans many year ago back in the 80s and the 90s . And then after playing Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump , I pop out forge with our wounded and get hold up our deploying troops go to Afghanistan and Iraq . And it all just manifest into a full - time military service mission .
I expend most of my clip on this military service mission of the Gary Sinise Foundation . We do first responder ; we supply equipment all over the country for small fire departments and police departments that have various little resources but involve a lot of assistance because they ’re serving a big community . And so , we essay to help out wherever we can . you may go to GarySiniseFoundation.org to learn more about it .
