The King of Kings
Produced by Angel Studios

King of Kings gets into the heart of the Bible story, making it a great option for Christmastime viewing. The entertaining tale unfolds through the creative eyes of writer Charles Dickens and his young son, giving a fresh spin on Jesus’ life and teachings. Lively storytelling and colorful animation should appeal to both kids and adults. For voice talent, the lineup includes Oscar Isaac as Jesus, while Forest Whitaker plays Peter, really capturing that faithful vibe. Mark Hamill, famous for Luke Skywalker, gives a charged performance as Herod, adding a memorable villain to the mix.

The Senior
Produced by Wayfarer Studios; distributed by Angel Studios

Based on a real-life story of redemption on the gridiron, The Senior is about Mike Flynt (played by Michael Chiklis), who was expelled from college in his senior year for fighting. Nearly 40 years later, at age 59, he returns to the field as a grandfather, becoming the oldest linebacker in NCAA history. Through humor and heartfelt moments as Flynt tries to make the team as a walk-on athlete, he and his coach confront past regrets—on and off the field—and discover that true victory lies in second chances, redemption, and legacy.
