Trailer for the C.S. Lewis Biopic THE MOST RELUCTANT CONVERT: THE UNTOLD STORY OF C.S. LEWIS
C.S. Lewis, the author of the Narnia fantasy books and more, led quite a fascinating life and his story will be told in a new biopic film coming out titled The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis.
The film comes from Fellowship for Performing Arts, and they’ve released the first trailer in which an elder C.S. Lewis looks back on his remarkable journey from hard-boiled atheist to the most renowned Christian writer of the past century.
The movie was written and directed by two-time Emmy and BAFTA winner Norman Stone (BBC’s Shadowlands), and the film stars Max McLean as the older Lewis and Nicholas Ralph (All Creatures Great and Small) as young Lewis.
Beautifully filmed in and around Oxford, “this engaging biopic follows the creator of The Chronicles of Narnia from the tragic death of his mother when he was just nine years old, through his strained relationship with his father, to the nightmare of the trenches of World War I to Oxford University, where friends like J.R.R. Tolkien challenge his unbelief.”
The Most Reluctant Convert “brings to life the spiritual evolution of one the 20th century’s sharpest minds and keenest wits.” The movie will get a limited one-night theatrical release on November 3rd.
