Producers Of GOD'S NOT DEAD Announce Start Of Production On Human-Trafficking Thriller CAGED Starring Loretta Devine And Kevin Sorbo

BATON ROUGE, La., Nov. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Principal photography has begun on the feature film CAGED, produced by Check the Gate Productions and Red Entertainment Group, the same team in part behind 2014's surprise faith-based hit GOD'S NOT DEAD, the number one independent film of the year.

CAGED is based on Molly Venzke's novel by the same title, which was adapted for screen by co-producer Lisa Arnold and Venzke. CAGED stars Emmy-award winner Loretta Devine ("Grey's Anatomy"), Kevin Sorbo (GOD'S NOT DEAD, "The Legend of Hercules"), Alan Powell (THE SONG), Christian singer-songwriter Anthony Evans, and Cassidy Gifford (GOD'S NOT DEAD), with appearances by Gov. Bobby Jindal, Grammy Award-nominated Christian recording artist Natalie Grant and Kathie Lee Gifford.

Inspired by real events, CAGED is the story of Aggie Prejean (Devine), a Cajun grandmother on a desperate search to find her two granddaughters, Skye (Gifford) and Elle, who have been kidnapped by their sinister father (Sorbo). As the details behind the girls' disappearance begin to unravel, it's discovered that they have been taken overseas to be sold into the sex trade. Aggie enlists the help of the girls' uncle, a well-respected local philanthropist, Richard DuLonde (also played by Sorbo), and his son, Wil (Powell), who is former Special Forces. A global hunt ensues, and the team will stop at nothing to see the girls safely returned home. 

CAGED is a thriller meant to engage and educate audiences on the realities of human trafficking.

CAGED is produced by Check the Gate Productions' Lisa Arnold (GOD'S NOT DEAD) and Red Entertainment Group's Jarred Coates (GOD'S NOT DEAD). CAGED will be filmed on location in Baton Rouge, La., and Athens, Greece.
