Watch the trailer for House Peretti's newest book written with Ted Dekker: House
http://www.housethemovie.net/trailer.html?gclid=CPe00Py20JYCFRs-awod5yh22wFrank E. Peretti (born January 13, 1951) is a best-selling contemporary Christian fiction novelist with more than twelve million copies of his work in print. Best known for his supernatural thriller titles This Present Darkness and The Oath, he primarily focuses on Christian topics, especially those surrounding spiritual warfare. Born in Canada and raised in Seattle, Washington, Peretti has held ministry credentials with the Assemblies of God and now lives in northern Idaho with his wife.
Tilly was adapted into a short forty minute film by a pro-life group, Love Life America in 2002 and shown on both PAX TV and briefly on the EWTN show Defending Life before being released on DVD.
Later, 2002 saw a movie based on Hangman's Curse in which Frank Peretti had a small role as an eccentric professor. It had a limited release in theaters but appears to have been successful enough to encourage film produces to continue developing Peretti's books into films. The Visitation was also made into a film by Twentieth Century Fox. House is in post-production and set to be released into theaters in the Fall of 2008.
Peretti is interested in making more films based on his books. He has written a screenplay for Monster and is hoping to make films for The Oath and This Present Darkness a reality, but acknowledges that they will be high budget projects.
