More than 600 million people have watched the multi-series life of Christ and director Dallas Jenkins felt it would do fans a disservice if it didn’t get big screen treatment.
“Every time we’ve dipped our toes in the theatrical waters, viewers have overwhelmingly told us they want more,” he said.
“After seeing the season four episodes, we knew we’d be doing our fans a disservice if we denied them the chance to see them all on a big screen with others they can laugh and cry with,” said The Chosen’s creator and director.
The cast and crew turned out in their glad rags for a red carpet premiere on January 22.
