Like so many of Tim McGraw’s movie projects, he can’t say too much about the film he is currently filming based on the best-selling book, The Shack. He explained that he was sporting some facial hair as part of his role in the film, but other than that, Tim says, “I’m sworn to secrecy, I can’t say too much, but anybody’s that read the book knows that’s it’s a fantastic book and it’s very heavy and life changing and some great people are in it. Octavia Spencer’s in the movie, Sam Worthington.”

In addition to filming the movie based on The Shack, Tim is also busy working on his next album, which will feature his latest single, “Top of the World.” He’ll also wrap up his Shotgun Rider Tour this coming Saturday in Irvine, California.
