Animated Biblical Movie Hit ‘The King Of Kings' Is Now Streaming
A scene from "The King of Kings." The King of Kings — the animated faith-based movie starring the voices of Oscar Isaac and Pierce Brosnan — is now on digital streaming. The King of Kings opened in theaters on April 11. The logline for the movie reads, 'Inspired by Charles Dickens, The King of Kings features a father telling his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. 'Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.' The voice cast of The King of Kings includes Isaac as Jesus Christ, Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Mark Hamill as King Herod, Roman Griffin Davis as Walter Dickens, Forest Whitaker as Peter and Ben Kingsley as High Priest Caiaphas. The King of Kings, per a press release from Angel Studios, is available on premium video on demand. However, viewers can only purchase or rent the movie on Apple TV or Fandango at Home. The digital purchase price of the movie is $24.99. Star Wars icon and prolific voice actor Mark Hamill was impressed with the way director Seong-ho Jang brought The King of Kings to life, especially in the way he creatively weaved Charles Dickens (Kenneth Branagh) and his son, Walter (Roman Griffith Davis), into the story. He's really known for being a master of special effects, this is his first time as a director,' Hamill told Screen Rant in early May. 'The visuals are astonishing, it has an epic feel to it, and it's not like they fade away from Charles and Walter in London and go to the story. 'They are in the story, and that's what I thought was so strong was that Walter is able to observe all of these things in real-time,' Hamill added. 'It's just a clever way to involve the audience, and that's why I had a feeling, 'This will be very appealing to the younger audiences, at least.'" The King of Kings was a big hit in theaters, earning $60 million in domestic ticket sales and nearly $6.9 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $66.9 million. The King of Kings had a production budget of $15 million before prints and advertising, per Collider. Rated PG, The King of Kings is exclusively available on PVOD on Apple TV and Fandango at Home.
