The movie conception of God is usually somewhat unexpected and humorous (George Burns in Oh God! and Morgan Freeman in Evan Almighty). Here is no different with Octavia Spencer as God. Rounding it out nicely are the sides of the Trinity with Avraham Alush as Jesus and Sumire Matsubara as "Sarayu" [Holy Spirit]. We also have Graham Green as the Great Spirit so all bases are covered.
Sam Worthington plays Mack, father of Emily. After a family tragedy, he blames himself and goes into a deep depression. After receiving a mysterious note, he goes into the wood to The Shack, where he spends the weekend with God and wrestles with his demons
Tim McGraw (the Willie Nelson of this generation's country stars turned actor) plays the friend and narrator.
