Fireproof premier attended by 4000

I gathered the following quotes from Waitsel's comments about the Fireproof premier.

It was standing room only at the 4,000-seat Fox Theater in Atlanta Friday night, as the Cathy family of Chick-fil-A fame hosted the premier of Alex and Stephen Kendrick's new film Fireproof. There were free tickets, free popcorn and drinks, and a more-than-generous gift bag containing three books and a dozen other items for everyone present.

I found this next paragraph to be especially interesting.

The two stars, Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea, talked about how they got the parts and what it meant to them. Especially revealing was what Cameron had to say about how he handled the kiss near the end, since he had committed himself to never sharing his lips with anyone but his wife. He solved the problem by flying his wife in for the kissing scene, and having her double for Ms. Bethea. I thought that was genius, and it brought tears to all our eyes and a standing ovation from the crowd.
