Willie and Korie Robertson Talk Future Projects After THE BLIND’s Success
By Movieguide® Contributor
Willie and Korie Robertson, stars of DUCK DYNASTY, have announced plans to make more movies and TV projects after their recent hit film THE BLIND.
In an interview with USA Today, Willie Robertson said, “It’s awesome that so many people came out to theaters to see this incredible redemption story… The response was phenomenal. Stories (poured) in of standing ovations, baptisms and post movie gatherings all over the country.”
THE BLIND was a huge success and was Fathom Event’s highest grossing release to date.
A previous Movieguide article reported: “’From the beginning, we knew how special this film was, and we were eager to support it in the best way possible,’ said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. ‘Giving the film a longer theatrical run was a great decision for Fathom because of how important it was to bring this message to the fans – it resonated with so many people, which is why THE BLIND has had such staying power.'”
The couple shared that they have several plans and ideas in the works for their production company, “Tread Lively.”
Shreveport Times shared “Korie Robertson said future productions from Tread Lively will be ‘faith friendly, but not everything on the nose faith,’ she said, noting ‘Duck Commander’ had elements of faith like a dinner table prayer but was primarily secular in its stories.”
“We do have plans for more movies,” Korie Robertson shared.
The couple recently rang bells for the Salvation Army this holiday season for the annual red kettle Christmas drive.
Willie shared about the event to Instagram, encouraging others to give.
“We enjoyed spending the day ringing bells with the @salvationarmyus!” the post read. “Thank y’all for having us out today! Visit salvationarmyusa.org for ways to give.”
