Redeeming Love Cast Interview with Abigail Cowen and Tom Lewis
I sat down with Abigail Cowen and Tom Lewis to talk about their new movie, Redeeming Love based on the best-selling novel.
REDEEMING LOVE is a powerful and timeless love story that takes place against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush of 1850. The story centers on Angel (Cowen), who was sold into prostitution as a child. She has survived through hatred and self-loathing until she meets Michael Hosea (Lewis) and discovers there is no brokenness that love can’t heal. The story reflects the redemptive power of unconditional and sacrificial love with characters and circumstances relevant to the contemporary world.
Nthibah Pictures, Mission Pictures and Pinnacle Peak Pictures announce the release date of the highly-anticipated film REDEEMING LOVE, distributed by Universal Pictures in U.S. and Canadian theaters for January 21, 2022. Directed by D.J. Caruso (xXx: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE), it stars Abigail Cowen (“Fate: The Winx Saga,” “Sabrina”), Tom Lewis (GENTLEMAN JACK), Logan Marshall Green (UPGRADE, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, PROMETHEUS), Famke Janssen (X-MEN, TAKEN), Nina Dobrev (xXx: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE, VAMPIRE DIARIES) and Eric Dane (“Euphoria,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” THE LAST SHIP, X-MEN). REDEEMING LOVE’S official trailer and key art are released as the anticipation increases amongst millions of fans.

Check out my review post here 😁 jamonkey.com/redeeming-love-movie-review-and-interview-with-abigail-cowen-and-tom-lewis/
This movie is worth every single minute, I wished it won't finish.
I have never heard of a man with his accent play a country boy. 😱 he did so good!
He’s British
Just watched the movie and came here to watch their interviews and I really thought he's an actual country guy actor, but the to my surprise he's actually not! He's really good!
Sounds like he’s from Leeds
I’m not a Christian, a friend made me watch this but it was such a great movie. You don’t have to be Christian to love this, it’s just a really well- done movie all around, with a really beautiful love story.
I’m still a Christian.
that's why they made it. Nor for Christians.
Amen!
@@truebeliever81 I think many so-called "Christians" would HATE Angel & burn her at the stake.
Well, tom lewis is one of my favorite actor now.
In the year 2022, it's very hard to find movies coming out being good. Love this movie. Huge regret I didn't see it in the theatres. Don't even remember watching the trailer at all. 😭🥺
I definitely remember seeing the trailer and I also remember knowing it was going to be brutal to watch. Took me a year to get the guts to see it. There's nothing worse than child trafficking. But, yeah. I wish I had the guts to see it. But also glad I was hone to be able to let all the emotions out and not be in public.
My fave scene is the Ending... I cried 🥺
The film is hands down my new favorite romantic movie. I barely see films that surprise me, and this one definitely did. The bond between the two characters was absolutely emotional. Great cast and score!
Me too.
yeah . a masterpiece they did a great job . the tears, the hope, the lessons all in movie. not to mention the beautiful cast unlike what we see on Netflix movies
I absolutely love this movie...it makes me think of the love God has for me. And how he will never give up on me no matter what I do or become.
My favourite part was when Paul finds her in San Francisco? And when he talks to her, he realises why she left and the sacrifice she was trying to make. (spoiler alert) when he realises, cries and asks for forgiveness, that made me tear up and then another scene after that with Michael made me tear up as well. I actually enjoyed the movie but I liked the book more. It made me want to read the book of Hosea again, just as the book did.
The movie is amazing! I was so moved by Michael's faith in the Lord and his pure love for Sarah. After watching it I started reading the book and it is even more magical and beautiful. The movie somehow did not portray the depth of the faith compared to the book, the bond between them was tighter in the books as well and how they interact with God, and the names Michael gave to Sarah throughout all hold such meaning, it's sad that they werent able to put it on the movie. 2 hrs wasnt enough for this story 🥺😔 I need a series hahahaha!
My thoughts too.I actually read the book first in 2018 It became my favorite, francine is such a brilliant writer.when I saw the trailer OMG I was excited although after watching it I kinda was disappointed a little bit coz it didn't give me da same feeling I got from the book. I'll continue reading the book but the movie am not sure am interested in watching it again
Sometimes I need to have faith as strong as Michael
Such a great love story. A story of forgiveness no matter . Love you Lord Jesus Christ for teaching me how to forgive
The fact that God was the center of it all and the truth in it was hands down fr me. I don't know how many times iv watched it since. I love you God
Abbey Cowen is so beautiful…such a queen can’t wait to watch the movie
her beauty and Michael's looks took the movie to perfection amongst other elements
This was a beautiful story, but I think the actors missed the point. This was about forgiveness, and unconditional love
Absolutely.. that's what made me love the movie.. but after listening to them I need to read the book..
Just cried my eyes out to this film, it was heartbreaking
I adored the movie. So did my daughter. It touched two generations. 💕
Absolutely the best movie I have seen and the understanding that you need to love yourself and ask for forgiveness and understand no one is perfect and once you love yourself you are able to love others
Absolutely... On point! 💯
I watch this film again and again , i still cry ❤️❤️❤️ i love the story. the actor and the actrees acting very well, i love it😍😍
When I saw the trailer of this, I cried because it tells my story in some ways. Me and my boyfriend are going to see it.
what is your story?
I don't how many times i watched the Movie.. 😂 😂 Its really worth to watch it..👍🏻👍🏻
I loved the interview I hope to see more
I read the book and it was incredible!❤ I can't wait to watch this movie later and I know I will cry my eyes out!!! Gonna need to take a few days off afrer watching it.😭😭😭
This movie is amazing 😻 this is how God love us so much. God love is greater than anything. This movie demonstrated. God bless the person who God uses to do thins movie. Finally! John 3:16
I LOVED that movie...and I'm totally smitten with Miss Cowen! ❤️
Love the movie one of the best romatic movies ive seen so far the actors are the best
This film was awesome and inspiring 😍😍😍😍 at the end all things go in a good way happy ending 💕💕💕💕💕💕
I watched the film in prime and now I am here. This is one of the good films of 2022 though it didn’t make well at boxoffice
This is loosely based on Hosea in the old testament. Hosea was told by God to marry a prostitute like the book and movie. Hosea's wife did leave him and he took her back. Hosea symbolizes God's unconditional love and being forgiven for our sins which we all have in various degrees. Yes a very adult theme but older teenagers could view. There are bed scenes but body parts are hidden somewhat. I have seen twice so far and need to read the book. By the way the singer sounding like Adele at the end is instead a Christian singer Lauren Daigle whose voice is similar. If you are prepared to be emotional you will love this. Take Kleenexes if you think you will need. More of theses type need to be made. By the way the language is pretty clean mostly for a modern made movie
yeah so loosely based it’s hard to make the connection unless you are told their is a connection. oh and you might wanna look into Lauren daigle because she has some very questionable theological beliefs
That makes a lot of sense in the Bible.
Ce film est un chef-d'œuvre 🙏 Je l'ai aimé du début à la fin ; et en tant que chrétienne, l'amour rédempteur rend gloire à Dieu Amen ❤️ Un grand Merci pour les merveilleux acteurs et actrices.
Great interview ✨
Thanks for watching Keren!
Their love was so beautiful 😊😍😍
This is movie that should have Academy Awards.
Loved the movie and intend to read the book 📕 👍🏻
Stumbled upon this on Netflix. Didn’t know it was based on this apparently uber-Christian book. It’s a good movie. It doesn’t feel like they’re forcing religion down your throat 👍🏻 It’s a tragic story and a sweet love story.
It makes me sad that the main actors seem to don't understand what the story is really all about... Maybe I'm wrong...
what do you mean?
@@lizzysmith4627 they've been asked what they took from the movie and their answers prove they have no idea what the story is all about. It is more of all about God's unconditional love and God is the one who redeems. God is the most important person in the whole story.
I haven't finish watching this interview but I've seen the movie and read the book. I think the movie lost the essence of the book, which is Angel's journey on redeeming God's love and grace. I wish they at least included Angel's baptism, because that's a really touching part of the book.
I think that the irony here is that the story despite its intention to illustrate God's love actually depicts a controlling, coercive, relationship, not a love story. Deeply rooted in patriarchy.
@@emilybowers245 Well, I never actually expected it to be like the book of Hosea, as Francine Rivers only took it as an inspiration for Redeeming Love. I didn’t expect it to be written like her Lineage Of Grace Trilogy where she really kept the stories close to the Scriptures as much as possible. But nevertheless, her books made me return to God and actually read and learn from the Bible, and I’m glad and thankful for that.
Thank you and God bless
This is really a good movie about hope and faith and love
Fabulous Movie
My new favorite movie ♡
EXCELLENT FILM AND CAST A++++++++++++++
So stunning girl. Redeeming Love ❤️ John 8:7 “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Love of Christ ✝️♥️❤️
Filmi çok beğendim şindiye kadar izlediğim en güzel filmlerden biri güzel bir aşk hikayesi aynı zamanda duygusal ağlamama engel olamadım
THE BOOK IS AMAZING
Ok.. i will read the book
Best movie ever!!
Really loved the movie
Me too.
Best romantic movie I've ever watch I recommend it.
Melhor filme que já vi amei ❤
Very good movie !
The book was inspired by the book of hosea. And the movie cut a few things but stayed true to the book
That’s exactly what my English teacher says the same thing too.
Sweet movie
This is the best movie I've seen in the last 5 years. We will find faith, trust, and how everything is truly for good reason. Just keep in faith in God, Jesus Christ.
This was such a great movie.
disgusting movie
It's about a women needing a man to make her feel better it's a gross movie, you need god to redeem you not a man and not sex.
Agreed.
agreed!
It’s on Prime if anyone wants to see it.
It's on netflix too, as well.
Stubborn love by Kathy Trocolli - suits this movie song
The sad reality is that there are no men like Michael in real life
yes!! :(
There are over a billion of men on this planet and it's impossible to say that there aren't any one like Michael.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It broke my heart that they don’t seem to understand what the story is about ? How come they never mentioned God here ? Are they believers ?
You mean the actors?
Yeah exactly, that is what broke my heart too.
I haven’t seen the movie yet and your comment makes me not want to see it. The book is so good I don’t want it ruined with the movie.:(
it's not a Christian movie
@@truebeliever81 so sad because the I read the book twice and I fell in love with Micheal every time.
I love this movie. And I’m not religious at all
They are so cute.
YASSS
Want to see it
Just watched a preview for this movie in my hotel room. The accent this Tom guy was doing is so bad, I had to find a forum to declare it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think the movie missed the whole point of the book. The book is that she hated God because of her mother. She felt no feelings. Then through Michaels belief, she started changing her mind. And then she had an experience lead by God and committed her life to Him. The movie barely touched on it to if you didn’t read the book, you would barely even notice that aspect. If you’re a huge book lover, the movie sucks. Also way too much nudity. They could have done it way more tastefully.
As someone who has read this book multiple times I was happy with the movie!! But you’re right about the movie not showing why she committed to Michael in the end. IMO the nudity in the film is the reality of the role she was portraying so it was suiting
Interesting take. I loved the book but I actually felt the movie tamed down MANY of the more intense moments that were in the book. But agree with you on the God point
The movie dropped the whole point of the book & romanticized the man, poor teenage girls are going to believe men can live up to this hype. Men are just as broken as women and cannot fix women only god can.
The book is about a broken woman redeemed by Gods love. The movie is about a broken woman who finally got out of prostitution and fell in love with a man. I understand that they had to cut a lot of things out to get a long book fit into a 2 hour movie. But I think they just focused on the romance part.
As someone who hasn’t read the book, I got that message loud and clear.
So where is the Biblical meaning of this story? Where is the redemption of the Lord that comes from this story from the Bible?
The book/movie is a romantic retelling of the Book of Hosea. Michael's last name is also Hosea.
Even though the story is about redemption the movie is still definitely not appropriate content wise for godly audiences and is going to cause many people to sin. Why would they also have 2 actors that aren't married inappropriately touching each other in a "christian" movie
Definitely not a Christian movie. But it IS a movie with a Christian message.
Nossa nem parece a moça do filme, tá diferente
I think this is so typical.
It was a great movie but wtf Tom is british??
I know! I was shocked when I heard him speak.
Abigail is prettier without make Up
They never mentioned trust and faith in God
They are atheist.
I loved the book, I hated the movie. 😭
Very popular with women today .She was sold in to it but had chances to escape .So it's a story to say women can give their virtue away the thing that should be special and only when their done they can find a man to support them after being used up so yes very popular w all women that it's ok to be a moist gross loose woman and it's a man's fault not hers .This is not a Christian film it propaganda.She should repent show shame ,make an amends but that's for lost sinners ,she wasn't lost .
While I agree the messaging is poor I read the book 10 years ago before I knew Christ. This story is about a women needing a man to tell her she is worthy and it's not like the bibal story in any way. Now if she was a real person who was in trafficing not by choice she wouldn't need to feel guilty, cheating however is absolutely a sin. But only god can forgive and redeem a person. This movie makes it seem like the perfect man will come along fix all your issues and life will be wonderful.. So very false.. Only God can help you love yourself .
You seem to know very little about physical and emotional abuse. A woman who has been beaten down and made to feel ashamed may have chances to escape, but she won't take them because she can't. When you have been abused, your abusers create a "mental" cage for you. You feel hopeless and in despair. And there are always people like you to tell women who have been in this situation that they should be ashamed, are worthless, and that it's their fault for being in that situation. Victims of abuse feel too dirty and ashamed to leave because in their minds, they are not worthy of being loved and no one will ever accept them. She was very much lost because only the grace of God could redeem her life.
It's interesting how you bypassed the people who rape and abuse women and go on to blame the women themselves
Disgusting movie
