When is the King of Kings release date?
After acquiring the North American distribution rights to Mofac Animation’s upcoming movie, Blue Harbor Entertainment has announced that they will be releasing King of Kings in theaters in Easter 2025. It is directed by South Korean filmmaker Seong-ho “Jay” Jang from a screenplay he co-wrote with Treasure Planet’s Robert Edwards. Besides Isaac, the animated movie will also feature the voices of Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, Forest Whitaker as Peter the Apostle, Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens and Roman Griffin Davis as Walter Dickens. It is executive produced by Jamie Thomason and Andrew Mann, with Kim set as the producer.
“In the film, Charles and Walter Dickens embark on a multi-dimensional adventure as the master storyteller engages his youngest son’s vivid imagination with the fascinating life of Jesus, his well-known trials and tribulations, and his notable colleagues and foes,” reads the official synopsis. “The film’s rich animation allows the Dickens pair (and the family cat Willa) to become intrinsically immersed in the ancient tale, interacting with Jesus, his disciples and his detractors – while the seasoned actors behind the voices bring these well-known characters to animated life like never before. The result is an animated film that makes the biblical journey easily relatable, readily understood and captivatingly entertaining for families and, especially, to children of all ages.”
