Angel Studios made a grand entrance at CinemaCon, the annual gathering of theater owners, by revealing its ambitious plans for the future. The Utah-based studio, known for its faith-based and conservative content, aims to break records with its upcoming animated film 'David,' set to release on November 21, 2025. The movie promises to be a joyful animated musical depicting the life of the ancient prophet, poet, and king, inspiring audiences with a tale of courage and faith.
Angel Studios also showcased its diverse slate of upcoming films, including 'Possum Trot,' 'Bonhoeffer,' and 'Homestead.' 'Possum Trot,' inspired by a true story, follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they embark on a mission to change the lives of children through faith and community.
