Veteran film producer Eric Groth and writer/director Andrew Hyatt of Sacred Arthouse and Zach Dasher and Korie Robertson are teaming on a new Randy Travis biopic Forever And Ever, Amen about the life of music legend Randy Travis. Hyatt will direct off of his own script. Travis and his wife Mary Travis will executive produce, alongside country music star Clay Walker. The film marks the first film for Sacred Arthouse.

The pic is currently being cast by Anne McCarthy, Kellie Roy, and Morgan Robbins at Engine Casting and production has established that Randy Travis will be played by three actors of different ages. Country star Clay Walker will play Travis in his 40s and 50s in addition to serving as Executive Producer. Engine Casting is on the lookout for young actors to play a young Randy Travis around 9-12 years old and another at 20-30 years old–the search should net two new rising stars.

Travis is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame with 23 #1 worldwide hits, 7 Grammy Awards, 11 ACM Awards, 10 American Music Awards and 5 CMA Awards. The film’s titular song “Forever and Ever, Amen” earned CMA awards as Single and Album of the Year when it debuted in 1987. It went on to be certified quintuple platinum. Almost 12 years ago, Travis suffered a debilitating stroke but he continues to release original music with the aid of new technologies.

On March 5, the Grand Ole Opry played host for the announcement of the biopic alongside performances by friends of Travis’ including Walker, Collin Raye, Lady A, James Dupré, and more. The evening opened with Travis’ friend and mentee, Dupré, introducing his mentor during an emotional rendition of “Where The Came From,” featuring Travis’ vocals on half of the song – evoking a standing ovation from the audience. Clay Walker capped off the night following his own hits with Travis’ iconic “I Told You So,” reintroducing Travis and his wife Mary to make the announcement of the movie in development. The evening closed out with Walker performing Travis’ iconic “Forever and Ever, Amen” which included a special “amen” from Randy Travis himself at the end.
