Paul, Apostle of Christ Movie {Giveaway}
I can still remember the complete silence as the theatre emptied when the film Passion of the Christ ended. It was vespers silence, where everyone felt touched by the portrayal of Jim Caviezel and others and they presented the story of Christ’s sacrifice. Now it is time to feel that again on the big screen in this theatrical release of Paul, Apostle of Christ, this Easter season.
Nobody is beyond God’s mercy.
Coming from Sony Pictures Entertainment, specifically AFFIRM Films, again staring Jim Caviezel with other talents of James Faulkner, Olivier Martinex, and Joanna Whalley the story comes to life.
PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST is the story of two men. Luke, as a friend and physician, risks his life when he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, who is held captive in Nero’s darkest, bleakest prison cell. But Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians, and does not flinch from executing them in the grisliest ways possible. Before Paul’s death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of “The Way” and the birth of what will come to be known as the church.
Bound in chains, Paul’s struggle is internal. He has survived so much—floggings, shipwreck, starvation, stoning, hunger and thirst, cold and exposure—yet as he waits for his appointment with death, he is haunted by the shadows of his past misdeeds. Alone in the dark, he wonders if he has been forgotten . . . and if he has the strength to finish well.
Two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread their message to the world.
On Friday, March 23rd, 2018 the theatrical release will be nationwide. Due to childcare situations, I doubt I will make it to the big screen, but cannot wait until it is released in home viewing format and will definitely be seeking it out then.

Jim Caviezel is one of my favorite actors, but I have to admit I was surprised that they cast him for the part when so many associate him with playing Christ in The Passion.

I was too, but perhaps it has been long enough in years and differences of appearances that it goes well. I like him in the trailers.
