DeVon Franklin Joins Cast Of JESUS REVOLUTION: ‘I Knew I Had To Be Part Of This Powerful Story’

By Movieguide® Contributor

DeVon Franklin is the latest star set to join the cast of the new faith-based movie, JESUS REVOLUTION. Franklin’s role in the Erwin brothers’ movie marks the producer and bestselling author’s first on-camera role in a project. 

Franklin joins a star-studded cast made up of Kelsey Grammer, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Joel Courtney, Anna Grace Barlow, Jonathan Roumie, Ally Ioannides, Julia Campbell, Nic Bishop and Jolie Jenkins.

Director Jon Erwin spoke about his excitement at Franklin’s role in JESUS REVOLUTION, saying, “Anyone who knows DeVon knows he is one of the most respected and successful producers in the industry, but they also know his devotion and commitment to inspiring people through entertainment.” 

“It is part of his DNA, and we are privileged that someone who is usually behind the scenes has graciously agreed to step in front of the camera for us for this important role and this story,” Erwin concluded. 

Franklin is equally excited to take part in the production: “I was excited and nervous when they approached me to act, yet once I read the script, I knew I had to be part of bringing this powerful true story to the screen.”

Movieguide® previously reported on JESUS REVOLUTION: 

Greg Laurie celebrated the end of filming for the upcoming faith-based movie JESUS REVOLUTION, based on his book of the same name.

“‘That’s A Wrap!’ That’s what they say when a film is completed,” Laurie captioned a photo from on set. “And the Jesus Revolution is now officially finished in the shooting phase.

“Now the challenging work of editing and scoring begins,” he continued. “I have been absolutely amazed by the talent and hard work from Directors Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle and the tenacity in getting things done by Producer Josh Walsh. The acting skills of Kelsey Grammer, Jonathan Roumie, Kimberly Williams Paisley, Joel Courtney and Anna Grace Barlow (Pictured) have been nothing short of astounding.

“We had prayer on the set of this film a number of times as well as with the crew and actors. I will keep you updated on the latest developments of this film that I believe will touch millions in a significant way.”

JESUS REVOLUTION is produced by Kingdom Story Co. with Andy and Jon Erwin at the helm.
