We are deeply grateful for the decades of faith, wisdom, and joy Adventures in Odyssey has brought into our lives.

As a devoted, multi-generational community of listeners, we want to see this franchise reach its full potential. While we appreciate the upcoming animated Journey Into the Impossible film, animation often keeps this deep, spiritual universe boxed in as "just a kids' show."

We respectfully ask Focus on the Family to adopt the successful model established by The Chosen and The Chosen Adventures.

By releasing the animated movie direct-to-streaming, you can beautifully serve young children while bypassing the heavy financial risks of commercial theaters. This opens the perfect pathway to develop what the global fanbase is truly dreaming of: a high-end, live-action feature film that the entire family—adults and children alike—can experience together.

By utilizing the independent crowdfunding and co-production strategies that built The Chosen, a premium live-action film shot in the majestic landscape of Colorado Springs is fully achievable.

Please optimize the animation for streaming, and let's start the live-action cameras for the big screen.

Our Vision for a Live-Action Expanded Cast (Other suggestions always welcome!):

 

* Jim Caviezel as John Avery Whittaker (Whit)

* Jonathan Roumie as Young Whit (1970s Prequel)

* AnnaSophia Robb as Connie Kendall

* Sean Astin as Eugene Meltsner

* Judy Greer as Katrina Meltsner

* Zachary Levi as Wooton Bassett

* Sam Elliott as Bernard Walton

* Alex Kendrick as Tom Riley

* Dennis Quaid as Dr. Regis Blackgaard

* Gary Oldman as Aloys Torsney

* Neal McDonough as Richard Maxwell

* Walker Scobell as Matthew Parker

* Chris Pratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt (with their real family) as the Taylors
