Animated Biblical Epic ‘David’ Set for UK and Ireland Cinematic Debut
The highly anticipated animated film ‘David’ is gearing up for its release in cinemas throughout the UK and Ireland on August 21. This follows a triumphant international stint during which it amassed nearly $88 million globally.
Produced by Angel Studios, the film revisits the timeless biblical tale of David, charting his journey from a humble shepherd boy to the King of Israel, and showcasing iconic moments such as his anointing and the legendary face-off with Goliath.
Vue Lumiere is set to distribute the movie across UK and Irish theaters.
With a remarkable $22 million on its opening weekend, ‘David’ established a new record for Angel Studios’ premieres. The film’s success has continued, with global earnings approaching $88 million.
Combining original musical compositions and stunning animation, ‘David’ delves into themes of faith, courage, humility, hope, and resilience.
Phil Wickham, a renowned Christian singer and songwriter, lends his voice to the character of David. The cast also includes Grammy Award-winning artist Lauren Daigle, comedian and actor Asim Chaudhry, and Brandon Engman.
The release in the UK and Ireland is supported by a strategic campaign aimed at encouraging churches to utilize the film as a medium to engage with their congregations, families, and communities, exploring the biblical narrative further.
KOVA, an organization dedicated to connecting churches with faith-driven films, has crafted a complimentary resource pack to assist congregations in promoting the film or organizing group cinema outings.
This pack contains the movie’s official trailer for church screenings, a holding slide suitable for Sunday services, children’s coloring sheets, and a discussion guide designed for families, small groups, and church ministries.
Churches are encouraged to leverage these resources to continue discussions about the themes and biblical stories portrayed in the film.
The August release aligns with a rising trend of faith-based films making their way to mainstream audiences.
Angel Studios has carved a niche for itself with Christian and family-oriented productions, having previously released successful projects like ‘The Chosen’ and the box-office sensation ‘Sound of Freedom.’
