Let's go with the trailer of 'The King of Kingsan animated film adaptation of the barely-known story by Charles Dickens whose rights have been acquired by Angel Studios, which will release the film in the United States on April 11, 2025. The film is directed by South Korean filmmaker Seong-ho Jang from a script he co-wrote with Robert Edwards. Regarding the casting, it will feature the voices of Oscar Isaac as Jesus, Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, Forest Whitaker as Peter the Apostle, Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens and Roman Griffin Davis as Walter Dickens. The story follows Charles and Walter Dickens, who embark on a multi-dimensional adventure as the master storyteller engages his youngest son's vivid imagination with the fascinating life of Jesus. The film's rich animation allows the Dickens couple (and the family cat, Willa) to become intrinsically immersed in the ancient tale, interacting with Jesus, his disciples, and his detractors. The result is an animated film that makes the biblical journey relatable, easy to understand, and captivatingly entertaining for families and, especially, children of all ages. It is executive produced by Jamie Thomason and Andrew Mann, with cinematographer Woo-hyung Kim and Jang Set serving as producers.
