Jonathan Roumie Shares Behind-The-Scenes Look At JESUS REVOLUTION: ‘It’s All Been Leading To This’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Jonathan Roumie of THE CHOSEN recently updated fans on his upcoming movie, JESUS REVOLUTION, with the first behind-the-scenes look and interviews with the other cast members.
“You might have seen this by now but for those who missed it, I’m stoked to share the first-ever behind-the-scenes look at JESUS REVOLUTION, in theaters everywhere February 2023,” Roumie wrote. “Experience the heart of our story: how a new counterculture crusade—a Jesus Movement—changed the course of history.”
The movie’s stars shared their thoughts on the movie and what they want audiences to take away from JESUS REVOLUTION.
“Audiences are going to get a strong message of love and hope,” Devon Franklin shared, while Kelsey Grammer said, “I hope people feel tearful and joyful, all at the same time, and maybe inspired to rediscover their own faith.”
“It’s been seven years to the screen for this movie and every other movie we made along the way…it’s all been leading to this,” Jon Erwin, the writer and co-director of JESUS REVOLUTION explained.
Movieguide® previously reported on the production of JESUS REVOLUTION:
THE CHOSEN’s Jonathan Roumie, Kelsey Grammer, Joel Courtney and Anna Grace Barlow are set to star in JESUS REVOLUTION, a movie by Kingdom Story Company.
The movie follows Greg Laurie’s book, Jesus Revolution, about “the true story of a national spiritual awakening in the early 1970’s and its origins within a community of teenage hippies in Southern California.”
THE KISSING BOOTH’s Courtney will portray Laurie with Barlow as his wife, Cathe. Grammer will replace Jim Gaffigan as Chuck Smith, and Movieguide® Grace Prize® Winner Roumie will take on the role of Lonnie Frisbee.
Movieguide® Award winners Jon Erwin and John Gunn will write the script, with Gunn directing.
“Pray for the cast and crew, that they will either come closer to Jesus or some might even meet him for the first time!” Laurie wrote on Instagram. “Our prayer is that this film will prompt young people (And all people for that matter) to say, ‘Do it again, Lord!’. It’s been said, ‘The fame of revival spreads the FLAME of revival.’”
“The Jesus Movement was the last great American spiritual awakening,” he added. “Some historians have said it was the greatest revival of all time. Let’s pray for another. I also appreciate prayers as this film goes into production.”
JESUS REVOLUTION is set to hit theaters February 24.
