Director Dallas Jenkins On Studios Wanting More Religious Content In Movies

Dallas Jenkins, director, writer, and producer of the series “The Chosen” about the life of Jesus of Nazareth, joined Brian Kilmeade to discuss his latest movie, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”, which is based on the book published in 1972. The book and film focus on the birth of Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. Jenkins said that even people who aren’t traditional churchgoers loved the book and movie script and are attracted to the way the story brings everybody together. Jenkins says in his 25 years in the industry, he has never seen a time where more big time studios and streamers are pursing more religious based content. Jenkins explained how the studios are not stupid and see the numbers and realize ignoring 50% of the country is probably not a good idea.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever opens in theaters on November 8th.
