Lawrence Fishburne Discusses New Made For TV Movie 'Have A Little Faith'

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Lawrence Fishburne spoke with the ladies of ‘The View’ about his latest project, Have A Little Faith, set to air on ABC.  The Matrix star also talked about whether or not we will be seeing anything new from the Matrix franchise.

Fishburne confirmed he was not sure if  he could pull off  his new role as reformed preacher, Pastor Henry Covington, who was a real life man who transformed many lives during his time as a preacher.  Many of these people sat right in the congregation that Fishburne’s character had to preach to in the movie.

Have A Little Faith is an adaption of Mitch Albom’s book of the same name where the less-than-religious sportswriter goes between the worlds of  his childhood rabbi and a reformed drug dealing convict-turned-pastor to observe and learn how their faiths are applied in different ways.

Mitch Albom’s Have A Little Faith premieres on Sunday, November 27 at 9 p.m. on ABC. Bradley Whitford and Martin Landau star alongside Fishburne in the film.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
