Pastor John Hagee, one of America's most recognizable evangelists and pastor of the 19,000 member San Antonio-based Cornerstone Church, is offering nationwide through his television ministry an eye-opening and prophetic action film that chronicles the last week leading up to the rapture. End-times thriller "In the Blink of and Eye" will release through Pure Flix Entertainment in conjunction with EMI CMG Distribution on November 17.

Hagee, widely considered an "end times" expert through his best selling books and appearances on television shows such as Fox News' Glenn Beck, will be airing a one half-hour television special to discuss the importance of the message of the film. The special, which begins November 12, will air through the months of November and December.

Unlike any film in its genre, "In the Blink of an Eye" combines dramatic imagery and visual effects with a creative screenplay that will have moviegoers thinking, hoping and guessing until the last credit rolls. For lead character Detective David Ramsey (David A.R. White), what was supposed to be the perfect vacation takes a horrific turn aboard a private yacht on the shimmering Sea of Cortez, as his wife and friends suddenly vanish. In déjà vu film fashion, Detective Ramsey begins to experience a replay of the previous day's events that lead up to the mysterious disappearance. As each day begins, he digs deeper into the mystery that surrounds the worldwide Nostradomic event that has been revealed in ancient Biblical prophecies.

White, who has starred in faith films such as "Mercy Streets", "Six...The Mark Unleashed" and the Frank Peretti film, "The Visitation", approached this film as a unique opportunity to share the Gospel in a relevant way.

"'In the Blink of an Eye' intrigued me, as most films I've seen portraying the end-times have been unsettling, scary, and confusing," says White. "However, this film maintains a strong focus on God's grace in the midst of uncertain times. And most importantly, it clearly and concisely unfolds the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ that all can comprehend." 


The film, which includes the bonus featurettes "Commentary," "The Making of" and "Trailers" will be available at all major Christian retail stores on November 17.
