Another captivating movie, just in time for Easter!
“Revival! The Experience”, a musical motion picture event, is “The Gospel of Apostle John… As You’ve Never Seen It Before” and it stars GRAMMY nominated singer/songwriter Mali Music as Jesus and Harry Lennix (“The Blacklist”, “Man of Steel”) as Pontius Pilate.
Led by Mali and Harry, REVIVAL! is brought to life by a stellar cast that also includes Michelle Williams, Chaka Khan (playing Herodias, a woman of the Herodian Dynasty and singer of the 1983 hit “Ain’t Nobody.”), Noel Gugliemi, Dawnn Lewis, T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh, Brely Evans, Wendy Raquel Robinson and Obba Babatunde.

The synopsis, from IMDb:
REVIVAL is hybrid of every film idiom: Broadway musical, Hollywood musical, animation, green screen technology, and sound stage.
In its meta-theatrical stylized bridging of the theater and the audience’s everyday experiences, REVIVAL is a mixed media virtual experience of the gospel according to John the Apostle.
The presentation of this timeless story is told by dramatizing supremely constructed gospel music that helps recount the mission, ministry and miracles of Jesus.
REVIVAL is a concert film. Nothing close since JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR… and served up with a splash of THE WIZ.
It is a gospel/funk fantasia that speaks to all throughout the world; either as a film or as a live-action musical. Every element is designed to deliver a clear, comprehensive, and compelling entertainment experience – from the vibrant wardrobe to the irresistible music; from the craft of acting and the gift of song and dance.
An amazing an uniquely modern and authentic approach to the Christian narrative.
