Award-winning singer and songwriter Chris Tomlin has added a new title to his name.
Pinnacle Peak Pictures announced Tomlin as the executive producer on their upcoming film, The Last Supper.
"I'm so excited to partner with Grand Canyon University on the release of this movie," said Tomlin in a post on Instagram. "One of the things I love about this movie is it is so theologically accurate. It's so right on the money. So much of it is God's words brought to life. I can't wait for you to experience The Last Supper and be moved by its powerful message."
This marks Tomlin’s first time getting involved with theatrical filmmaking.
“I have always said that worship is more about seeing than singing and years ago, I was leading worship in Israel and that understanding was deeply reinforced. While standing in the place and seeing where Jesus gave His life, I was profoundly moved, reflecting on His final moments on Earth. That experience was a marking moment in my life,” shared Tomlin. “In watching The Last Supper film I have had that same spiritual encounter. My prayer is that this film will meet people where they are and make a deep and eternal impact on their lives.”
The Last Supper was shot in Morrocco and takes viewers on a cinematic journey 2,000 years ago as they walk with Jesus and the disciples.
In just a few weeks, the film’s teaser trailer garnered over 35 million views.
The Last Supper will hit theatres on March 14.
