Trailer for Coming of Age Christian Rock and Roll Comedy ELECTRIC JESUS
1091 Pictures has released a trailer for an 80s-set coming of age, Christian rock and roll comedy titled Electric Jesus. The story follow the ill-fated exploits of a religious hair metal band during the summer of 1986.
The movie stars The Office’s Brian Baumgartner as the band’s woebegone road manager, The Breakfast Club’s Judd Nelson as a firebrand preacher, and newcomers Andrew Eakle, Shannon Hutchinson, and Wyatt Lenhart as devout teens determined to “make Jesus famous.”
This actually looks like it could be an entertaining movie. I’ll be looking forward to check it out. Here’s the synopsis for the film:
When a flashy promoter (played by Brian Baumgartner, The Office) sells sound man Erik (Andrew Eakle) and his favorite local Christian hair metal band, 316, on the promise of a bus tour in the summer of 1986, their desire to “make Jesus famous” meets the complexities and confusion of personal ambition, religious conviction, youthful zeal, lifelong friendships, and first love.
Electric Jesus was written and directed by Chris White, and it will be available digitally November 2nd.
