"Sound of Freedom" distributor, Angel Studios, has unveiled an exhilarating new trailer for their upcoming animated epic, "The King of Kings." This magnificent film, based on Charles Dickens' book "The Life of Our Lord," meticulously charts the life journey of Jesus Christ through captivating animation.

The film's official synopsis captivates: "A father weaves the most legendary tale for his son, transforming a bedtime story into a transformative odyssey. Through the prism of a vivid imagination, the boy embarks on a journey alongside Jesus, bearing witness to His miracles, enduring His trials, and grasping the profound significance of His ultimate sacrifice. 'The King of Kings' beckons us to rediscover the timeless strength of hope, love, and redemption through the innocent eyes of a child."
First-time director Seong-ho Jang, along with screenwriter Rob Edwards, has helmed this cinematic marvel. Jang, along with cinematographer Woo-hyung Kim, serves as producer, while Dennis Cho holds the reins as executive producer. The animation for this film has been brought to life by South Korea's Mofac Animation.
In 2023, Angel Studios delivered the faith-based thriller "Sound of Freedom," which emerged as an unexpected box office sensation that summer, grossing an astonishing $40 million within just six days of its release.
"The fervent response to faith-based films underscores a pent-up demand from an audience yearning for entertainment that mirrors their values and beliefs," remarked senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian at the time. "Such content can undeniably resonate with an ardent audience, generating robust box office returns and substantial profits for investors."
