A trailer for the film adaptation of the book 鈥�Heaven Is For Real鈥� has been released.

鈥淗eaven is for Real,鈥� which was written by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent, chronicles Burpo鈥檚 story of his son Colton. Colton tells his family he visited heaven while he was in emergency surgery for his appendix. The book was first released in 2010 and is still number 12 on the paperback nonfiction bestseller list for the week of Nov. 24.

The movie version stars 鈥�Little Miss Sunshine鈥� actor Greg Kinnear as Burpo, 鈥淔light鈥� actress Kelly Reilly as his wife Sonja Burpo, and first-time actor Connor Corum as Colton. Actors Thomas Haden Church and Margo Martindale co-star.

The trailer shows the Burpos waiting as Colton is in surgery and Colton telling his parents of his experiences afterward, including seeing a sister who died in a miscarriage (an incident the Burpos say they had never discussed with Colton) and seeing his great-grandfather.
