Gerard Butler’s fans launch campaign in support of ‘Machine Gun Preacher’


Gerard Butler has the best fans in the world. They are passionate, loyal and fiercely united, particularly when it comes to getting wider distribution for Butler’s latest film Machine Gun Preacher.

In a grassroots campaign to get the film into more movie theatres, fan site gerardbutlergals.com is rallying support by asking fans to view the Machine Gun Preacher trailer on YouTube and to post favourable comments. Apparently the “powers that be” are monitoring the YouTube traffic. At the time of posting this article there were over 400,000 views. The goal is to reach 500,000 by Friday. The hope is that all the viewing and positive feedback to the trailer will cause the film to be screened in more theatres.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If you’d like to do your part in support of Machine Gun Preacher then visit YouTube now to view the trailer and post your comment. Share with your friends and help turn the tide towards greater access to this incredible biopic based on the true adventures of Rev. Sam Childers.

They've done it for all his films that don't have a lot of publicity. Beowulf and Butterfly are just a few.

I didn't realise it was over his career. That's news.

It was Beowulf that I was thinking of.

Now comes confession time: I COULDN'T WATCH THAT MOVIE IN ITS ENTIRETY. IT WAS DREADFUL.

To each their own, Nay.
