\"\"<\/p>\n

Directed by Danny Green (Troubled Waters<\/em>), Revival!<\/em><\/strong> is a musical retelling of the Gospel according to John, told in an exciting and unique way for the new millennium through a mixture of stage, screen and music video, which together to recapture the spiritual imagination in an age of chaos. The film’s journey begins with a live Passion play in a contemporary metropolis, and expands from there into a world of vibrant image and immersive sound.<\/p>\n

“Revival! <\/strong>is effective at delivering the Word of God in a fresh and innovative manner that is appealing to both mature and millennial audiences,” wrote Black Girl Nerds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Written by gospel star, Mali Music (Best Urban Contemporary Album) as Jesus, Revival!<\/em><\/strong>stars the legendary voice of 10-time Grammy winner, Chaka Khan (The Blues Brothers<\/em>). The sensational musical features powerhouse vocals from Grammy winner, Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child<\/em>), executive producer, T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh (In Living Color<\/em>), Grammy winner \/ Oscar nominated, Siedah Garrett (writer: “Man in the Mirror”), award winning Dawnn Lewis (Dreamgirls<\/em>), Wendy Raquel Robinson (The Game<\/em>, The Steve Harvey Show<\/em>) and Niki J. Crawford (He’s Just Not That Into You<\/em>).<\/p>\n

In a recent feature with Northwestern alumnus (’86), Harry Lennix, The Daily Northwestern<\/a> wrote that in the future, Lennix hopes Revival!<\/em><\/strong> “serves as ‘a key that unlocks a door of possibility’ so he can put his other ideas into action, and more stories showcasing black culture can be told.”<\/p>\n

Lennix continued, “I want people to take away that they can dare to dream and they can dare to consider themselves worthy of divine consideration — that they are as important to God as any other groups of people, and they deserve some reflection of that in culture.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Opening in select US theaters on Dec. 7th<\/sup>, Revival!<\/em><\/strong> will have its second rollout in January 2019,  expanding to screens in Memphis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Norfolk, St. Louis, San Francisco, Cleveland, Orlando, Boston, Tampa, Milwaukee and additional theaters coming soon.<\/p>\n
