Mofac Animation has announced that Oscar Isaac will be portraying Jesus Christ in their upcoming animated family film, The King of Kings. Forest Whitaker has also been cast to voice the apostle Peter in the film. The star-studded voice cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, and Roman Griffin Davis.
The film, directed by Seong-ho “Jay” Jang and produced by Anfernee Kim, is loosely inspired by a little-known Charles Dickens short story called The Life of Our Lord. The script, written by Jang and Rob Edwards, follows Charles and Walter Dickens as they embark on a multi-dimensional adventure exploring the life of Jesus.
