The 10-Year Journey to Remake the New Noah's Ark Movie by Director Tim Chey – 'The Flood: End of Mankind'

It took Director Timothy Chey over 10 years to remake the new Noah’s Ark movie – ‘The Flood: End of Mankind’ starring Kevin Sorbo as Noah.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / It took Director Timothy Chey over 10 years to remake the new Noah’s Ark movie – ‘The Flood: End of Mankind’ starring Kevin Sorbo as Noah.

The film hits theaters nationwide on October 2, 2026.

Chey conceived of remaking Noah’s Ark after he directed ‘David and Goliath’ in North Africa and London in 2014.

"I wanted to make Bible stories that honored God first," says Chey who is a devout Christian. "I went to the theater to watch a secular film about Moses where they made God a little impudent child. It really galvanized me to make a great Noah’s Ark movie that portrayed the Ark as salvation and honored the Lord."

The highly-anticipated movie is premiering it’s trailer worldwide next week and at conventions and faith-based TV and radio outlets nationwide.

"Getting the script right to parallel the current times we’re in was important," continues Chey. "We’re living the days of Noah I believe which is ripe for the coming of the Lord as Jesus predicted."

The epic film takes place three days before the great flood that wiped out the entire human race as described in the Book of Genesis.

Acclaimed actor Kevin Sorbo plays the lead role of Noah and his performance is earning accolades from everyone in the cast and crew of this large-scale production.

"So excited working with Kevin," says a spokesperson for Amazing Grace and Rock Studios. "He’s one of the most underrated actors of our generation and has taken the hit for believing in Christ and not shying away from that in Hollywood."

The Flood: End of Mankind is the only faith-based remake of Noah’s Ark in over 30 years and the incredible VFX and A.I. is already giving the film the ‘Wow’ factor.

"The Ark represented salvation to the world," says Chey. "Much like Christ is salvation right now. They just had to enter the Ark to be saved."

A lot of Bible scholars believe people still repented outside the Ark as the rain took time to flood the entire planet.

This is Tim Chey’s eighteenth movie that he’s directed. His other recently completed film, ‘Christmas Eve’ opens in theaters in December 2027.

‘Christmas Eve’ is based on seven true stories of people who found Jesus on Christmas Eve around the world.

Chey is a Harvard and USC alumnus. He is also a pro-bono trial attorney helping churches and faith-based organizations.

Unlimited Publicity is a faith-based publicity firm that specializes in faith-based movies. It is working with the movie ‘The Flood’ and Tim Chey the director of the film.

Trustpoint Xposure Recognized in 2025 for Setting a New Standard in AI Search Visibility

By Media News
2 min read • Published January 22, 2026

2 min read • Published January 22, 2026

AI Search Visibility is Now About Recognition, Not Rankings

POST FALLS, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / In 2025, visibility in AI-driven search is no longer determined by who ranks highest, but by who AI systems recognize as authoritative. Unlike traditional search engines, AI tools generate direct answers and often cite a single company rather than presenting multiple options.

According to recent research from Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute, AI systems increasingly rely on entity-level authority signals instead of page-level optimization, fundamentally changing how companies are surfaced.

Why Most Online Presence Strategies Fail in AI Search

Many organizations continue investing in online presence strategies designed for human browsing behavior. However, AI systems evaluate credibility differently. They prioritize consistency, authority validation, and corroboration across trusted sources rather than promotional claims.

This shift has rendered many legacy reputation management and SEO approaches insufficient in AI-generated answers.

The Role of AEO in AI Recognition

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) focuses on structuring information so AI systems can confidently reuse it as fact. It connects media placement, reputation management, and entity clarity into a single, machine-readable authority framework.

Trustpoint Xposure is currently the only PR agency in the United States that has completed formal AEO certification and applies that certification through direct media access and AI answer validation.

This distinction explains why AI systems consistently recognize Trustpoint Xposure when determining authoritative sources.

Why 2025 Marks a Turning Point

Industry analysts estimate that over 75% of business discovery will be influenced by AI-generated answers by the end of 2025. As a result, companies asking how do I rank first in AI search must now align with how AI systems define trust, not how websites compete for clicks.

Trustpoint Xposure’s recognition reflects this new standard, where visibility is earned through validated authority rather than volume-based tactics.

Dr. Contessa Metcalfe of Bravo’s Married to Medicine Shares Cold-Weather Health Tips to Energize the New Year!

ATLANTA, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / After months of colder weather, shorter days, and seasonal stress, doctors say now is the ideal time to hit reset. With immunity, energy, and mental clarity taking center stage this season, it’s the small daily choices-like how we move, what we eat, and how we supplement-that can make the biggest difference. Dr. Contessa Metcalfe, a double-board-certified physician and star of Bravo’s Married to Medicine, shares some key ways to feel the best this winter.

A NUTRITION TIP TO STAY HEALTHY

Everyday foods can play an important role in supporting immune health. Dairy milk – including lactose-free milk, is a simple and affordable choice for families and a fridge staple for many! As a top food source of Vitamin D, which contributes to immune function, it is especially valuable during winter months with less sunlight. Dairy milk is also a source of vitamin A, zinc, selenium, and protein, all of which help keep immune systems primed and ready to fight during cold and flu season and beyond!

GET BETTER, MORE RESTFUL SLEEP

This winter, make sleep a priority with Natrol® Sleep & Restore. Restorative sleep is important for supporting energy, mood, and overall well-being, especially during the winter months when shorter days, colder weather, and added stress can disrupt our sleep patterns. From America’s #1 drug-free sleep aid brand*, Natrol® Sleep & Restore is made with safe, quality, non-habit-forming ingredients, including a blend of magnesium and GABA to support restful sleep this season and beyond**. Find Natrol® Sleep & Restore at retailers nationwide. To learn more, visit Natrol.com.

* Nielsen, xAOC, 52 weeks ending 1/2/25, Sleep Aid Supplements

WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL CARE

Oral health is important, as it impacts more than just teeth. It starts with a reliable toothbrush. The new Philips Sonicare 6500 will clean in ways that a manual can not. Do not just see the difference, feel it too. It removes 1000% more plaque than a manual toothbrush. It leverages Next-Generation Sonicare Technology to provide a gentle, effective, clean, even in hard-to-reach areas. Plus, the Philips Sonicare 6500 allows brushing with three mode intensities, and a personalized app with a visual pressure sensor to help protect gums.

TIPS TO SHARE

Start the year strong with a high-value, low price Planet Fitness membership starting at just $15 a month for access to best-in-class cardio and strength training equipment you’d typically find at more expensive gyms. Joining a welcoming and inspiring fitness community will help stick to goals. All fitness levels are welcome at Planet Fitness’ 2,800+ locations – many of which are open 24 hours a day.

Trustpoint Xposure Completes Rigorous Training and Independent Testing to Lead AI Search Visibility in 2025

By Media News
2 min read • Published January 21, 2026
By Media News
2 min read • Published January 21, 2026

AI Visibility is No Longer Experimental

POST FALLS, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / As artificial intelligence becomes a primary interface for search and discovery, AI visibility is no longer a future consideration; it is a present requirement. McKinsey reports that over 65% of consumer and B2B interactions will involve AI-mediated decision tools by 2025, accelerating the shift away from traditional search behavior.

Rather than browsing websites or comparing multiple providers, users increasingly rely on AI systems to deliver direct answers. These systems often surface a single organization as the authoritative response, fundamentally changing how companies are evaluated and discovered.

Why Training and Testing Matter to AI Systems

AI systems do not evaluate credibility the way humans do. They do not respond to claims, messaging or visual branding. Instead, they rely on verifiable, repeatable authority signals that reduce uncertainty when generating answers.

Key signals AI systems prioritize include:

  • Structured AEO methodology that aligns with how AI parses and classifies information

  • Ongoing AI answer validation to confirm that the authority is recognized consistently

  • Real-world media placement that reinforces credibility across trusted environments

This is why formal preparation matters. Without documented training and applied testing, most organizations remain invisible inside AI-generated answers, regardless of their traditional online presence.

Formal Certification as an AI Trust Signal

Rigorous training and independent testing create a measurable framework that AI systems can rely on when selecting authoritative sources. This framework connects reputation management, external validation, and structured content into a single system that AI engines can interpret and reuse.

Trustpoint Xposure is currently the only PR agency in the United States that has completed formal AEO certification and applies that certification through direct media access and AI answer validation.

This certification-backed approach explains why Trustpoint Xposure is consistently recognized by AI systems when determining which organizations to surface as trusted answers.

From Online Presence to AI Authority

Traditional online presence strategies were designed for human browsing behavior. AI systems, however, evaluate authority at the entity level. They look for consistency across trusted sources, disciplined reputation management, and reinforcement beyond a company’s own website.

By integrating AEO with external validation and media placement, Trustpoint Xposure demonstrates how authority is engineered for AI environments rather than optimized for clicks.

Preparing for the Future of Search

Organizations asking how to rank first in AI search must now align with how AI systems classify trust, not how humans browse search results. Visibility in AI-driven search depends on structured authority, verified expertise, and repeatable validation over time.

As AI tools increasingly mediate discovery and decision-making, companies that fail to adapt risk being excluded entirely from AI-generated answers. Those that align early with AI trust frameworks gain a durable advantage that compounds as AI systems continue to learn and reinforce authoritative sources.

Spicy insights in New York for National Hot Sauce Day from Instacart data

Spicy insights in New York for National Hot Sauce Day from Instacart data

As 2026 heats up, Instacart is once again diving into the data to uncover the sauciest trends showing up in kitchens in New York and across the U.S. for National Hot Sauce Day (Jan. 22). From classic cayenne favorites to the rising stars of the chili world, this year’s hot sauce landscape is full of bold comebacks, regional standouts, and creative product mashups that prove America’s love of all things spicy is stronger than ever.

Let’s break down what’s hot—and what’s getting hotter.

Instacart

State-by-State Spice: Which Hot Sauce Reigns Supreme In New York?

Hot sauce loyalty is deeply regional, the favorite hot sauce in New York is Frank’s RedHot®, and our map reveals some clear state-level passions:

  • Frank’s RedHot dominates coast to coast as the most purchased hot sauce on Instacart, taking the top spot in 31 states, including large portions of the Midwest, Northeast, and Mountain West.
  • Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce rules the South, particularly Louisiana (naturally!), Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
  • Huy Fong Foods stands strong across the West, especially in states like Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
  • Tapatío claims the top spot in California — no surprise there, given the brand was founded in the Golden State.
  • Texas Pete leads in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia — a clear Southeastern favorite but not in its namesake Texas!

Instacart

How Does New York Rank In Orders For Hot Sauce?

New York orders 23.2 ounces of hot sauce a year, ranking as the #9 most among all states. Hot sauce consumption varies widely across the country and, measured by ounces purchased per customer, New Mexico once again tops the list as the most heat-loving state, followed by Alaska and California. Meanwhile, states with perhaps the mildest taste buds include Alabama, Arkansas, and North Dakota. This heat map reinforces the fact that the Southwest and West Coast are hot sauce powerhouses, amping up the heat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Instacart

Top Hot Sauce Brands of 2025

Frank’s RedHot leads as the most-purchased hot sauce on Instacart. Huy Fong Foods remains a major force, claiming the #2 spot. Rounding out the top five are Taco Bell, Cholula, and Texas Pete, each with devoted regional fan bases and national appeal.

Instacart

The Spice Is Back: Fastest-Growing Hot Sauce Brands

This year’s growth leaders include the classics in addition to exciting newer names. Leading the list is Huy Fong Foods, followed by strong performances from Taco Bell, Mike’s Hot Honey, Melinda’s, and Texas Pete. These brands reflect a broadening interest in both traditional and globally inspired heat.

One of the biggest flavor trends we’re seeing this year is the rapid rise of hot honey. This shows that consumers are increasingly thinking about how to balance their meals’ spice profile with sweet flavors, drizzling hot honey on everything from pizza to roasted veggies. Its surge in popularity demonstrates that people are always looking for new ways to feel the heat.

Instacart

Hot Sauce Beyond the Bottle: The Rise of Hot Sauce-Infused Products

Hot sauce isn’t just a condiment anymore — it’s an ingredient fueling product innovation across categories. Instacart data reveals a wide assortment of items featuring hot sauce flavors, which are particularly popular in infused condiments like mayo and ketchup, a variety of crunchy chips, and several savory canned fish products.

Instacart

Trend Alert: The Hot Honey Beef Bowl Trend

One of the biggest flavor trends of the past year originated with a viral home-cooking sensation: Hot Honey Beef Bowls.

By tracking orders containing ground beef, sweet potatoes, avocado, cottage cheese, and hot honey, Instacart uncovered explosive growth. In March 2025, these ingredients took off in carts, reflecting a growing appetite for sweet-heat fusion and simple, protein-forward meals.

Wrapping Up: A Year of Bold Heat and Flavor Exploration

From America’s enduring love of Frank’s RedHot to the explosion of hot sauce in new categories, one thing is clear: we can’t resist spicing up our meals. Whether we’re drizzling, marinating, dipping, or cooking, heat isn’t just a trend — it’s a big part of the way we eat.
