Benji's Back!
Joe Camp, creator of the Benji films, brings the beloved pup back to the big screen after 17 years. He tells us all about it—and how his faith played a part in the process.

Is Joe Camp in store for more adventures?

Camp: I wanted to meet Steven Curtis Chapman, because he wrote a lyric when he was 15 that said [paraphrased], "When Jesus comes back, I just want him to be able to say to me well done." And I said, "I want to know what was going on in his life at 15 years old that gave him that kind of spiritual maturity." And down at the CBA [Christian Booksellers Association] convention, I was fortunate enough to meet him and talk for a little bit. And we've talked a couple of times since. And when we're through with this movie, I'm going to go sit down with him in Nashville and spend a couple of hours just talking and digging and see where it pans out. I'm really excited about that as well.

Well, let us know if anything pans out. Anything else you'd like to add?

Camp: Yes: August 20. August 20. August 20.
