Billy Graham Movie Set For Oct Release
Billy Graham—almost certainly the most famous and iconic evangelist of the past century—turns 90 years old this fall, a landmark that will be celebrated in true Hollywood style. Releasing on October 10 to coincide with Graham’s birthday, Billy: The Early Years will tell the first chapter of Graham’s story, beginning with his childhood and leading up to his Christian conversion, his call to evangelism, and his meeting of his beloved Ruth.
The movie, billed in a press release as a “coming-of-age” story, is directed by Golden Globe nominee Robby Benson (who voiced the Beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast) and stars Veronica Mars actor Armie Hammer in the title role. Mart
in Landau and The Bionic Woman’s Lindsay Wagner also star. Country music star Josh Turner will also appear as gospel legend George Beverley Shea.
