As a film producer, Rick Santorum is taking a leap of faith.

Santorum, a 2012 Republican presidential contender and former senator from Pennsylvania, is turning his focus from politics to cinema as chief executive officer of a Christian film company. He will lead EchoLight Studios, a Dallas-based studio formed in 2011 and set to release its first production, “The Redemption of Henry Myers,” to theaters this fall.

Santorum, who said in an interview that his political career is “always a part of what I do,” has continued to criticize Republican Party leaders and President Barack Obama since dropping out of the presidential contest last April. While his involvement in EchoLight is not political, he will be playing to his constituency, religious-minded voters who oppose abortion, rather than a broader audience Republican leaders are courting following Obama’s re-election. Some films based on true stories could be “cause-related,” he said.

“I believe the policies and principles that the party stands for are the policies and principles that made our country the greatest country in the world,” Santorum said of his party. “We shouldn’t be walking away from them because some people don’t think they’re popular anymore.”

Easy enough to avoid those movies. I wonder how much money he will make from this ?

1. Hollywood is notorious for taking newbies, inexperienced fools, and unwitting

investors, chewing them all up, and spitting out the remains.

When you take a clown like Sanitorium and have him mix it up with Hollywood, the result will be classic. I only hope that he demands to be involved in the final cutting and editing. THAT would guarantee a new classic, along the lines of Ed Wood's finest. A nightmare on elm street during halloween, on a friday the 13th meeting an axe wielding Zombie Mummy from Outer Space and his christian robot (which spouts biblical phrases at every turn).
