Holy Crap: Ashley Tisdale to Star in Rapture Thriller ‘Left Behind’

High School Musical alumna Ashley Tisdale is set to join Nicolas Cage in Cloud Ten Pictures long-delayed remake of Left Behind, a 2001 end-of-days thriller based on Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye’s bestselling Christian novel about Rapture rejects.

Tisdale will play Chloe Steele, daughter of Rayford Steele, an adulterous airline pilot (Cage). When the good people in the world are taken by the Rapture to join God and Kirk Cameron’s army against Satan, the Steele’s are shit out of luck and forced to live on earth with the faithless for seven chaotic years.

At the end of those seven years, they must decide between joining Team Christ or Team Anti-Christ, a decision that’s probably not so hard to make if you know the Almighty exists and turning your back on him means taking a cannonball into a lake of hell.

Left Behind has a budget of $15 million and is slated to go into production this year. Vic Armstrong is attached to direct from a script penned by Paul Lalonde and John Patus, writers of the original franchise, which starred Kirk Cameron.
