I had no idea a movie was being made about the book, but Donald Miller provides an update on it on his blog.

I guess when LifeWay decides to sell the DVD, they’ll have to put disclaimer on it telling customers to “watch with discernment.”  However, when I search their website for “Donald Miller” and “Blue Like Jazz” and “Velvet Elvis” I got zero results, so I guess they no longer sell his book, and the link I provided on an earlier post to their Read With Discernment page is no longer up – so I guess they have changed some policies.

Interesting.

Perhaps this is a step in the right direction, as it seemed odd to me for a business built on strong ethical and moral standards to be selling a product and reaping the profits in which they felt wasn’t align with scripture or their core values.

Update:  I found they have a new Read With Discernment page that appears different from their original and has a slightly modified URL and it mentions that certain titles are available through a third-party.  I searched through their FAQ’s and there wasn’t a mention of Donald Miller, but I did notice they still sell The Shack that has it’s own Read With Discernment page.

It’s interesting to read the reader reveiws of the book – lots of one star ratings.
