Machine Gun Preacher tells the incredible true story of Sam Childers (played by Gerard Butler), a former drug-dealing “tough guy” who embarks on a life-changing spiritual journey and becomes an activist for children in war-torn Sudan. Michelle Monaghan plays Lynn, Childers’ wife, who helps him find his faith and turn his life around.
Bonnie Laufer of Tribute sat down with the pair to talk about preparing for such emotional roles and how the film has changed their lives. Butler also discusses his work on the upcoming Ralph Fiennes-directed Coriolanus.
