Trailer for Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson's Inspirational Drama FATHER STU
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for its upcoming inspirational drama titled Father Stu, which stars Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson. The film is based on a true story, and it’s described as an “unflinchingly honest, funny and ultimately uplifting drama about a lost soul who finds his purpose in a most unexpected place.”
In the film, “When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long (Wahlberg) moves to L.A. dreaming of stardom. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Teresa Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But surviving a terrible motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others find their way, leading to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a Catholic priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church officials and his estranged parents (Gibson and Jacki Weaver), Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way.”
I enjoy a good film like this that will lift my spirits and inspire me. It looks like a great film that will tell a beautiful and moving story.
The film was written and directed by Rosalind Ross, and it will be released in theaters on April 15th, 2022.
