Just three weeks after its Season 1 premiere, Prime Video has ordered a second season of biblical drama House of David.

The series, which launched with three episodes on February 27, drew 22 million viewers in the first 17 days and is among its Top 10 new series debuts in the U.S. to date, according to the streamer. New episodes will be released weekly, leading up to the season finale on April 3.

House of David, which hails from Wonder Project’s Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn (Ordinary Angels), tells the story of the ascent of the biblical figure, David, played by Michael Iskander, who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel.

The series, based on an idea from Erwin, follows the once-mighty King Saul as he falls victim to his own pride. At the direction of God, the prophet Samuel anoints an unlikely outcast teenager as the new king.

Stephen Lang has played his fair share of commanding figures, from ruthless military leaders to hardened warriors, but in House of David, the Avatar star takes on a different kind of authority, one whose power comes from on high. Way on high. Lang plays Samuel, the last judge of Israel, in the upcoming biblical epic, a role that he describes as both pivotal to the story and deeply complex. Speaking with Collider, Lang revealed what drew him to the role and how he worked with creators Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn (Ordinary Angels), to figure out Samuel’s place in the series.

How sunny and well-meaning and therapeutically feel-good is the new autism drama “The Unbreakable Boy?” It’s a movie in which the dad, played by Zachary Levi, has an imaginary best friend. It’s a movie in which the local church is run by a Matthew McConaughey sort of dude named Preacher Rick (Peter Facinelli), who’s so down with his downtrodden flock that he himself is a recovering alcoholic who admits he sometimes doesn’t like to go to church. And it’s a movie in which the title character, an owlish 13-year-old named Austin (Jacob Laval), isn’t merely autistic. He also suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta, which means that his bones are extraordinarily fragile, so that he’s like some teen-geek version of Mr. Glass in “Unbreakable.” Speaking to the audience in voiceover, Austin lists his bone breaks, which number in the high twenties, as if they were Pokémon cards he was collecting.

Since the 1980s, Dennis Quaid has been one of Hollywood's most talented stars, leading everything from science fiction to thriller movies. The actor is at his best in more lighthearted and relatable roles, which have endeared him to generations of moviegoers as a great, average Joe-style performer. That has been reflected through his many roles, leading some of the best blockbusters and best-written films of the last forty years.

Quaid's career includes a variety of movies from different genres, but the actor is best known for his common sense, wholesome and relatable all-American characters. Quaid's endlessly optimistic persona shines through in virtually every movie in which he stars, making him especially suited to family movies. From epic disaster blockbusters to heartfelt dramas, Quaid continues to be one of the most compelling stars of his generation.

Plot: When his parents, Scott and Teresa, learn that Austin is both autistic and has brittle bone disease, they initially worry for their son’s future. But with Scott’s growing faith and Austin’s incredible spirit, they become “unbreakable,” finding joy, gratitude, and courage even in the most trying times — an extraordinary true story about a father and son learning together that every day can be the best day of your life!

Review: Faith-based films often get a bad rap. Many films heavily focused on Christian themes get labeled and struggle to garner mainstream attention. Still, they can sometimes tell beautiful stories that are inclusive rather than damning of other religions. Like last year’s Ordinary Angels, also directed by Jon Gunn, The Unbreakable Boy tells an emotional and challenging true story of a young boy whose challenges are an inspiration to those around them. Rather than sugarcoat the story,...

The tale of David vs. Goliath is one of the most popular and inspiring stories in anthropological history (originating in the Christian Bible), but you've never seen it told like this. The ultimate underdog story should need little introduction, as David, a small shepherd from the Valley of Elah, Israel, took down the mighty, bronze-armor adorned giant, using nothing but a slingshot — spoiler alert. The story has been told, and re-told countless times. But, a new Prime Video series is adding a flare of drama, and appears to be heavily inspired by HBO's Game of Thrones.

House of David has transformed the biblical story into an eight-episode series. The series was created by Jon Erwin (Jesus Revolution & American Underdog) and Jon Gunn (Ordinary Angels), based on an idea by Erwin and The Chosen creator, Dallas Jenkins. Up-and-coming actor, Michael Iskander, best known for starring in the award-winning stage musical, Kimberly Akimbo,...

Amazon Prime Video has released the first trailer for the Biblical epic series “House of David.”

Newcomer Michael Iskander, who starred in the Tony Award-winning musical “Kimberly Akimbo,” plays David and was chosen after a four-month international search. The first three episodes of “House of David” are set to premiere Feb. 27 on Prime Video with the following dropping weekly.

Watch the trailer below.

In the story, David becomes the King of Israel, along the way taking on Goliath (Martin Ford) and navigating love and loss to fulfill his ultimate destiny despite starting off as an outcast teenager. Alongside Iskander, the cast includes Ali Suliman (“Jack Ryan”) as King Saul, Ayelet Zurer (“Angels and Demons”) as Queen Ahinoam, and Stephen Lang (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) as Samuel.

Additional cast members include Indy Lewis (“Industry”) as Mychal, Yali Topol Margalith (“A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder”) as Mirab, Ethan Kai (“The Turkish Detective...

Prime Video has just dropped the first trailer for their upcoming biblical drama series, House of David, which looks slightly more Game of Thrones than it does The Chosen. That's pretty cool. Created by filmmakers Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn (Ordinary Angels), the series will debut on the streaming platform on February 27, 2025, with three episodes dropping on premiere day, followed by one episode weekly. As for what it's about? Well, everybody knows David versus Goliath. Or maybe they don't. House of David, which is a dual partnership between Amazon and Wonder Project, will tell the story of one of history’s most iconic underdogs in the form of David (Michael Iskander), the shepherd boy who would go on to become the King of Israel.

Fresh off success with their holiday family comedy The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Lionsgate and the faith-based Kingdom Story Company have agreed to renew their three-year first-look deal, extending the studios’ total collaboration to 10 years.

The deal puts a capstone on Kingdom Story Company’s biggest slate yet, which comprised three films with Lionsgate in 2024: Ordinary Angels, starring Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson; Unsung Hero, from Grammy-winning faith-based artist Joel Smallbone; and the aforementioned Best Christmas Pageant Ever, which exceeded tracking by opening with $11.1 million at the domestic box office this past weekend ($12.2 M/4-day) and is positioned to continue playing through the holiday period.

Dallas Jenkins (of The Chosen fame) directed the latter film, starring Judy Greer and Pete Holmes, which adapts the children’s book by Barbara Robinson. Each of the Kingdom-developed and produced films released this year is expected to turn a profit for the studio.

Film Mode Entertainment has announced the acquisition of Psychopomp, a new horror thriller starring Saw mainstay Shawnee Smith and produced by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick. The news comes with first look images and a clip previewing a family’s bizarre nightmare.

The horror film is written and directed by Paul Etheredge.

Psychopomp follows “a couple, Robin and Daniel – long struggling with infertility – as they realize their dreams of parenthood by welcoming an orphan, Kathelia, into their home. However, those dreams crack under the weight of Kathelia’s erratic behavior, which only becomes more frighting when Robin discovers she’s inexplicably pregnant.”

The film stars Olivia Macklin, Dylan McTee, Avangeline Friedlander, Shawnee Smith, Lily D. Moore, and Morgana Shaw.

“Psychopomp was born from a nightmare. On my honeymoon, I dreamed of caring for a child, even as it literally tore my new family apart,” said director Paul Etheredge.“Firstly, though,...

The relationship actors Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan shared was one instance that experienced a ton of issues before things fizzled out. Despite both individuals being some of the most successful actors in Hollywood during the 80s and 90s, their personal battles ultimately led to a messy divorce, and then the downfall of one of their careers.

Zachary Levi was well on his way to becoming one of the A-listers of Hollywood after starring in the widely successful Shazam! However, his career seems to have peaked with that DC film as his films since have consistently been underwhelming or downright box-office disasters.

His latest film, Harold and the Purple Crayon, will reportedly debut on streaming this week, barely a month after its theatrical release. The film reportedly earned $23 million at the global box office, against a $40 million budget. With Shazam! Fury of the Gods also being a disaster, Levi’s career might just be over.

Things have been looking up at the box office as of late, with movies like "Inside Out 2," "Deadpool & Wolverine," and even Neon's indie horror hit "Longlegs" lifting us out of a pretty dreadful situation. Unfortunately, the rising tide doesn't always lift all boats. Sony's "Harold and the Purple Crayon" hit theaters this past weekend, instantly becoming one of the biggest misfires of the year thus far. The only saving grace is that we're talking about a mid-budget movie and not one with a full-on blockbuster budget. Even so, things are looking rough with no reason to believe they're going to get much better.

Director Carlos Saldanha's "Harold and the Purple Crayon" opened to just $6 million domestically while playing on more than 3,300 screens. It placed at number six on the charts, placing behind "Inside Out 2" ($6.7 million), which was on its eighth weekend in theaters. This...

Zachary Levi must have really hoped that Shazam! was his ticket to the A-list category. However, his career appears to be going nowhere after the failure of the superhero film’s sequel and a couple of other failed films. His latest theatrical release, Harold and the Purple Crayon, is projected to become another disastrous entry from the actor.

Levi had a promising career beginning, starring as Chuck Bartowski in the cult action comedy Chuck. He also landed the famous gig of voicing Flynn Rider in Disney’s Tangled and he was even nominated for a Tony Award for his Broadway performance in She Loves Me.

Harold and the Purple Crayon is projected to earn an opening weekend gross of $6 million. This total pales in comparison to its $40 million budget. The movie joins a recent string of box office disappointments for star Zachary Levi, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Harold and the Purple Crayon, a movie sequel to the children's book of the same name, has become another entry in a string of recent box office disappointments for star Zachary Levi. Levi had a recent hit when he starred in the 2019 DC superhero movie Shazam!. However, he followed that with roles in a string of underperforming movies including the sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which became the second lowest-grossing movie of the entire interconnected franchise. This has now been capped off by the Harold and the Purple Crayon release.

Entitled “God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust,” the film will be released theatrically in the U.S. this fall, but, like the rest of Pinnacle’s slate, foreign territories are available to buyers. The new “God’s Not Dead” film follows the series’ protagonist, Rev. David Hill (played once again by David A.R.

Iconic actor Danny Trejo is set to receive one of the biggest honors of his career.

The star of Machete, From Dusk Til Dawn, Spy Kids, Con Air, Heat, and hundreds of other films and television series will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Santa Fe Film Festival on Thursday, the festival’s opening night. His new film, American Underdog, will hold its U.S. premiere at Sfff that night, kicking off the event that runs in New Mexico’s capital city from April 25-28.

“Danny Trejo has developed a prolific career in the entertainment industry with a hard earned and atypical road to success,” the festival notes. “From years of imprisonment to helping troubled youth battle drug addictions, from acting to producing, and now on to restaurant ventures, Trejo’s name, face, and achievements are well recognized in Hollywood and beyond, but it is his continuous...

Oddly, April is going to be a month full of genre films, but it’s also a month that might make some wonder whether any of the new movies can open with more than $20 million, putting theaters back into the place they were back in January and February.

“Civil War” (A24 – April 12)

Considering how Alex Garland‘s previous films “Men” and “Annihilation” were received, it’s hard to believe that his edgy political apocalyptic thriller could be one of the biggest movies of this month, but it’s also likely to be A24’s first movie to hit #1 on the weekend after 10 years of releases. Starring Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman, Jesse Plemons and Wagner Moura, Garland’s latest premiered at the SXSW Film and TV Festival, where it received mostly positive reviews.

Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson star in Ordinary Angels, a faith-centric movie based on a true story. The film highlights the importance of community, hope, and humanity amidst struggles. The cast and crew shared insights about their roles and experiences during production.

Ordinary Angels, a new drama based on a harrowing and heartwarming true story, celebrated its release with a red carpet premiere earlier this week. Set in 1994, the movie centers on a Louisville hairdresser who finds renewed purpose after learning of a widowed father struggling to care for his two girls. The film stars Million Dollar Baby's Hilary Swank, Reacher's Alan Ritchson, and Emily Mitchell, a young actor who's already made a name for herself in such movies as Priscilla.

Ordinary Angels. Photo Credit: Allen Fraser Ordinary Angels is the latest film to feature Hilary Swank playing a real-life character, and it’s directed by Jon Gunn, who’s made a name for himself both writing and directing films that tell real-life stories. He’s written American Underdog, the film about former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner; I Still Believe, a film based on the life of Christian singer Jeremy Camp; and Jesus Revolution, based on a true story, while the last movie he directed, The Case for Christ, was also based on a true story. According to Swank, Gunn was the perfect choice for a movie like Ordinary Angels, and she really appreciated his approach to filmmaking.

Driven by their devout Christianity, the Erwin brothers — Andrew and Jon — have never been shy about the agenda behind their work. “Our mission,” it says on their website, “is simply to spread the Gospel further than it’s ever been using film as the medium,” and that mission has seen their Kingdom Story Company evolve into one of the biggest forces in America’s burgeoning “faith-based” sub-genre.

In light of the brothers’ stated purpose, however, it’s strange that they’ve responded to their success by making increasingly secular movies. Perhaps that’s just part of the Erwins’ plan to widen the tent and share Jesus’ light with people who haven’t necessarily sought it out for themselves, but it’s hard to overstate the difference between their self-directed 2012 debut — the virulently anti-abortion drama “October Baby” — and the latest feature they’ve produced, a hokey but harmless Hilary Swank vehicle...

What we get this weekend as far as new wide releases is an anime project, a faith-based drama and a quirky indie of sorts from an Oscar-winning filmmaker, which should all enter the Top 10 interspersed with returning movies.

Crunchyroll is releasing “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training” into 1,962 theaters.

Lionsgate’s collaboration with faith based movie producers Kingdom Story Company has reaped boxoffice rewards for both, and with their latest, Ordinary Angels, the inspiring true story of a small Kentucky town that comes together in a historic snowstorm in order to transport a 3-year-old girl to an Omaha hospital for a life-saving liver transplant, they have another surefire heartfelt film tailor-made for audiences looking for a little uplift. This actually would have made a perfect Christmas season release but has been delayed for several months, now opening in the same February corridor where Kingdom’s surprise hit, Jesus Revolution did well last year. Midwest crowds will especially respond to a never-say-never tale that is about bringing people together, not tearing them apart in this age of division.

Veteran producer Jon Erwin and former Netflix and YouTube exec Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten have announced the launch of The Wonder Project, a new independent studio that will cater to faith and values-oriented audiences.

Founded by Chief Content Officer Erwin and overseen by CEO Hoogstraten, The Wonder Project will look to create premium film and TV content for what they see as a huge audience that has traditionally been underserved by the entertainment industry.

Director/producer Brent Ryan Green has optioned the exclusive film and television rights to develop and produce an adaptation of “King Raven,” a trilogy of historical novels by Stephen R. Lawhead. The books set the tale of Robin Hood in the late 11th century amid the Norman invasion of Wales.

Steeped in lore and the political intrigue of medieval Britain, Lawhead presents a historically plausible origin story for Robin Hood. Each title within the series is told from the viewpoint of a member of the Sherwood Forest clan in an entirely new setting.

The trilogy follows the journey of a young Welsh noble, Bran Ap Brychan, as he’s met with the trials and obstacles that craft him into King Raven, better known as Robin Hood.

Green has been credited on more than 70 film and television projects during his nearly 20 years in the industry. Past projects range from box office...

“The Walking Dead” actor Tom Payne and Broadway veteran Betty Buckley have joined the cast of Blumhouse’s next movie “Imaginary,” a horror-thriller led by DeWanda Wise.

Taegen Burns (“The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers”), Pyper Braun (“Desperation Road”), Matthew Sato (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and Veronica Falcón (“Jungle Cruise”) will round out the cast.

Lionsgate is releasing the film on March 8, 2024. It wrapped production before the writers’ and actors’ strikes — so it will arrive in theaters as planned, unlike several projects that were forced to pause for months on end.

“Imaginary” was directed by Jeff Wadlow from a script he co-wrote with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland. The story centers on Jessica (Wise), who moves back into her childhood home with her family. When her stepdaughter Alice (Braun) develops a concerning attachment to the stuffed bear, Chauncey, she finds in the basement, Jessica becomes concerned with the young girl’s behavior.

Reeves eventually was able to escape and live in Indigenous Territory,...

The indie movie genre has seen another major box office milestone surpassed in the form of Sound of Freedom. Inspired by the story of real former government agent Tim Ballard, the movie explores his efforts to rescue children from a sex trafficking ring in Colombia and his founding of the non-profit organization Operation Underground Railroad. Led by Jim Caviezel, Mira Sorvino and Bill Camp, Sound of Freedom has garnered generally positive reviews from critics and enjoyed a successful early run at the box office since its July 4 debut.

With its third week of release only halfway through, Variety has brought word that Sound of Freedom has set a major indie movie box office milestone. Having officially reached the $100 million mark, the faith-based action movie becomes the first independently produced project to surpass that bar at the domestic box office in the wake of the pandemic. The only other indie movie...

No one loves an inspirational story quite as much as Dennis Quaid. Over the last few years alone, he’s appeared in a score of uplifting titles such as The Long Game, On a Wing and a Prayer, American Underdog, and Blue Miracle with each title displaying the human spirit winning out against insurmountable odds. Today, the trailer for Quaid’s latest tear-jerker has arrived. Blending his love of sports films with the unbelievable true story of a young man destined for baseball greatness, The Hill sees Quaid as a father who wants the best for his child, cautiously believing in him every step of the way.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods arrives on 4K Uhd, Blu-ray and DVD from 5th June

“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” continues the story of teenage Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who, upon reciting the magic word “Shazam!,” is transformed into his adult Super Hero alter ego, Shazam. Bestowed with the powers of the gods, Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still learning how to juggle teenage life with having adult Super Hero alter-egos. But when the Daughters of Atlas, a vengeful trio of ancient gods, arrive on Earth in search of the magic stolen from them long ago, Billy—aka Shazam (Zachary Levi)—and his family are thrust into a battle for their superpowers, their lives, and the fate of their world.

Sandberg, written by Henry Gayden and Chris Morgan, based on characters from DC; Shazam! created by Bill Parker and C.C.

Zachary Levi took to Instagram to clarify that he doesn’t blame Dwyane Johnson — or anyone — for nixing the originally planned post-credits scene in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which would’ve seen Justice Society of America members inviting the sequel’s title character to join their group.

On Tuesday, Levi seemed to call out Johnson after a story from The Wrap reported that the Black Adam star blocked Justice Society characters from appearing in the Shazam! sequel and shot down the possibility of a Levi cameo in his movie. In his Instagram Story, the Chuck alum shared a post mentioning the reporting and added “The truth shall set you free.”

“I may or may not have, you know, reposted something in my Stories about a story that I had nothing to do with that [The Wrap] had reported on, and then I got flack about it because people were saying ‘Oh,...

Back in 1986, director Jim Wynorski brought us the cult classic Chopping Mall (watch it Here, check out our Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? episode on the film Here), which was about the robots that have been tasked with serving as the security guards in a shopping mall going on a killing spree. The original title for that movie was Killbots, and a while back it was announced that Wynorski was going to be directing a new movie called Killbots for Full Moon. It would have nothing to do with Chopping Mall, it was just going to be using that discarded original title. Well, the title plans changed along the way. The Wynorski / Full Moon project is now called Murderbot – and you can watch the trailer in the embed above!

Murderbot is scheduled to be released through the Full Moon Features streaming service on March 31st.

After its strong opening weekend, Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” is shaping up to be a historically frontloaded superhero film at the box office, plummeting 69% in its second weekend to $32 million.

Given its mixed reviews and audience reception, analysts and rival distributors were not expecting the third “Ant-Man” movie to make more than $40 million this weekend. But barring a much stronger-than-expected Sunday, this movie will have the largest second-weekend drop in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the largest drop for any superhero movie with a $100 million-plus opening since the 69.6% drop of “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 2016.

With a 10-day total of $164 million, “Quantumania” should have enough momentum to cross the $200 million mark at the domestic box office. But with such a steep drop it is now questionable whether the film will have enough fuel against stiff March blockbuster competition to even pass the...

It is not often these days that you get a Hollywood studio release born out of the late-’60s and ’70s hippie movement, but in blending a true-life faith-based story with the uninhibited counterculture of the time, you have Jesus Revolution. It’s the latest spiritual exercise from the Erwin Brothers’ Kingdom Story Company virtual factory of inspirational faith-based films that really took hold with their 2018 smash hit I Can Only Imagine and more recently included the Kurt Warner football story American Underdog.

Unlike many films in the genre, which find their greatest box office success in the South and Midwest, the Erwins don’t dwell on pounding the message into their movies (thank God for that), but there is no question that belief in God when you might be at the lowest point of your life, questioning everything, is a key component, and clearly they look to real life for their inspiration.

January 2022 was an odd month. There was a strong sense that 2022 was going to be much better than 2021 at the box office as the industry struggled to recover from the pandemic, in small part thanks to the success of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in late '21, which teed up the ball for greener pastures. And yes, we had a steadier stream of hits last year, but where things were really lagging had to do with anything outside of the top five (often the top three) on the charts any given weekend. It was one or two movies doing okay, while everything else was fighting for scraps. In 2023, it looks like those days may finally be behind us.

As pointed out by Exhibitor Relations, this past weekend's domestic box office totaled a little more than 70 million, with "Avatar: The Way of Water" (15.7 million) leading the way for a seventh straight weekend.
