Los Angeles, CA – December 13, 2018 – Featuring sensational gospel and R&B performances, ‘Revival!’ is interwoven with the traditional biblical-based storytelling, modern day imagery and emotionally captivating performances.
From NBC’s “The Blacklist”, Harry Lennix (Man of Steel, The Matrix) and directed by Danny Green (Troubled Waters), Revival! is a musical retelling of the Gospel according to John the Apostle, recapturing the life and ministry of Jesus Christ in an exciting way for the new millennium.
Opened on Dec. 7th, Revival! will continue its weeklong theatrical run in the select US theaters of New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Houston, Detroit, Dallas and Los Angeles. As a message of love, Revival! itself has received love from top critics:
“The Bible is coming to life on the big screen today in a unique way.” — CBN.
“Revival! is a film that ‘espouses a message of love and spiritual courage, something like an open love letter that can help comfort all of us as we process the chaos of daily life.” — Chicago Crusader.
“It’s a sassy hybrid, with onstage song and dance, location shoots, animation and CG. In one great continuous scene, Lennix’s Pilate strides from a modern corporate boardroom to a World War I battlefield to the Bolshevik Revolution to Jesus’ day — he changes costumes, but corrupt authority never changes.” — AARP.
“This film isn’t about religion. It’s about spirituality and the resilience of people who find themselves. Franchised by different policies and life and are refusing to cross the figurative isles and understand humanity and other people.” — The Laura Coates Show.
Written and starring gospel superstar, Mali Music, Revival! blends traditional and 21st Century gospel music. Featuring sensational gospel and R&B performances from 10-time Grammy winner, Chaka Khan (The Blues Brothers), Grammy winner, Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child) and executive producer, T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh (In Living Color), whose legendary voices enhance the film’s innovative approach, transcending into a world of vibrant image and immersive sound.
