Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen on Faith and filming 'The Way'

Not many movies coming out of Hollywood these days are ones you can take your elderly parents and high school kids to see. That’s what’s so unique about The Way, a new movie about grief, family, and faith, starring Martin Sheen, from director/writer/producer Emilio Estevez. The father and son team have been touring the country by bus sharing their project with anyone who will listen. And the responses are encouraging.

“Kids are posting on Facebook saying, ‘I’ve never heard of this before. Thank you for making the film. I’m going to Santiago. I’m taking my parents to the movie. I finally found a movie that I can take my parents to that is not vulgar, that’s not so CGI-driven or about outer space, that they can relate to’,” Estevez happily reports.

Interested in producing good, old-fashioned storytelling, Estevez and Sheen, along with co-producer David Alexanian, want people to find The Way in theaters this weekend.

“This is the way the old studios used to do it,” Estevez says. “And these are the types of films that they used to make that were about people.”

“I think that people will be delighted to have it as a tool … and as an alternative to what’s out there,” adds Sheen.
