By Movieguide® Contributor
Actors from THE CHOSEN are starring in a new faith-based production called FOURTY-SEVEN DAYS WITH JESUS from Fathom Events.
“When the Burdons attend a reunion at Poppa and Nonna’s ranch, they realize just how disconnected their family has become. Facing marital hiccups, teenaged angst and Poppa’s health hurdles, the adults decide to share Poppa’s enchanting ‘Forty-Seven Days’ story with the kids, transporting us back in time to see the miracles of Jesus’ final 47 days on Earth,” a summary reads.
“When an unexpected business opportunity places Joseph at a crossroads, his commitment to his family is tested. Can the Burdons pull together in the face of uncertainty? With Poppa’s tale as their guide, they embark on a journey towards unity and rediscover the true essence of walking in faith,” the synopsis concludes.
The movie features THE CHOSEN’s Catherine Lidstone as Juliana Burdon and Yoshi Barrigas as Joseph Burdon. It also stars Cameron Arnett from OVERCOMER and Joshua Triplett from GREY’S ANATOMY.
The movie, from Reel Big Studios, Pinnacle Peak Pictures and Fathom Events, is directed by “Emilio Palame and David M. Gutel who also wrote the film with EP Rolland Jacks. Palame is producing alongside Donald Nguyen and Kristen Brancaccio for Reel Big Studios in conjunction with Vero Entertainment,” per Deadline.
“This movie radiates hope,” said Brancaccio. “It’s about a modern-day family that is very relatable: they’re dealing with health challenges, they’re putting work first and they’re just so disconnected from one another.”
“FOURTY-SEVEN DAYS WITH JESUS is a gentle, non-judgmental reminder to step back and reevaluate what really matters. Whether you’re someone who is seated in a pew every Sunday or knows absolutely nothing about the Easter story but wants to leave the theater feeling inspired — this movie has something for everyone,” she concluded.
FORTY-SEVEN DAYS WITH JESUS will be available in 800 theaters on March 11, 12 and 14.
