Newton's Grace
Newton’s Grace (working title: But Now I See) is a forthcoming film about John Newton, a slave ship captain and later Church of England pastor who wrote many hymns, including Amazing Grace. The film, directed by the award-winning Christian filmmaker John Jackman, is based on Newton’s autobiography, Out of the Depths. Jackman used the tall ship Hector in Pictou, Nova Scotia, for filming many seafaring scenes.[1] Scenes set on the coast of Sierra Leone were filmed at various locations on the North Carolina coast, particularly Fort Anderson and Fort Macon.[2] Interiors and green screen special effects shots were filmed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.[3] The film stars Erik Nelson as the young John Newton and was scheduled for release in 2015.
