The Plagues of the OT on the Big Screen

Here is a wild trailer for Hillary Swank's new movie coming out in November. Here is the plot summary from imdb.com:
Hilary Swank plays a former Christian missionary who lost her faith after her family was tragically killed, and has since become a world-renowned expert in disproving religious phenomena. But when she investigates a small Louisiana town that is suffering from what appear to be the Biblical plagues, she realizes that science cannot explain what is happening and she must regain her faith to combat dark forces threatening the community.
Hollywood has finally figured out that if they market to Christians, they will make tons of money. I'm sure this is partly the motivation behind producing this movie but frankly I don't really care what their motivation is as long as they put out great movies. I have no idea if this film has any Biblical grounding other than the idea of the 10 plagues, but nonetheless it looks pretty entertaining.
