Washington [USA], Dallas Jenkins, creator of the acclaimed biblical series 'The Chosen', has released the first trailer for his latest directorial project, 'Best Christmas Pageant Ever'.
Lionsgate's Christmas movie hits theaters on November 8 and promises a heartwarming story just in time for the holiday season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Starring Judy Greer in the lead role of Grace Bradley, the film follows her character's journey as she volunteers to lead her church's annual Christmas parade.
However, her initial excitement soon turns into a challenge when she realizes that the involvement of the mischievous Herdman children threatens to disrupt the entire event.
In the trailer, Greer's character faces the chaos with determination, stating, "Jesus was born to the Herdmans as much as he was born to us. We would be missing the whole point of the story if we reject them."
Directed by Jenkins from a script co-written with Platte F. Clark, Darin McDaniel and Ryan Swanson, 'Best Christmas Pageant Ever' is based on Barbara Robinson's beloved 1972 book of the same name, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film also stars Pete Holmes, Molly Belle Wright and Lauren Graham in key roles.
Reflecting on her approach to faith-based storytelling in Hollywood, Jenkins shared her perspective with The Hollywood Reporter: "If we believe that faith is relevant in culture, then what stops us from doing things like others do in Hollywood that have their own message or Agenda? The best filmmakers are personal and have a voice. I thought, 'Well, what's wrong with me having my voice?'
The project features a production team that includes producers Kevin Downes, Jon Erwin, Andrew Erwin, Darin McDaniel, Chet Thomas and Daryl Lefever, all helping to bring this heartwarming Christmas story to the big screen.
