Cinema, animation, and Scripture will once again “meet” in a project where they will present the life of Jesus Christ: the animated remake of the 1979 Jesus Film which is set to release for Christmas of 2025. The Cru film ministry is working on a next-generation remake of the iconic 1979 movie seen by millions. The popular Jesus Film of 1979 is an American Biblical drama film directed by Peter Sykes and John Krish which depicts the life of our Lord, a depiction of the life of Jesus based on the narratives of the gospel according to Luke.
