Sony to Make a “Trip to Heaven and Back”

The Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent-penned book Heaven Is For Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip To Heaven And Back accounts for the real-life story of a young boy’s venture to Heaven during a near-death experience.

Sony Pictures attained the rights to the book yesterday thanks to producer Joe Roth’s interest in the book, as reported by Deadline Hollywood.


 
Heaven Is For Real currently sits at No. 1 on all of The New York Times’s Bestseller Lists for nonfiction books. However, he noticed its ranking on the lists about a month and a half ago. When he saw that no other studio expressed interest in the book for a film production, he immediately went in for the kill.
