The new film 'Jesus Revolution' (JesusRevMovie) was made by Birmingham natives and brothers Jon & Andy Erwin (ErwinBros). 'I just can’t wait for people to see it in theaters...' says Jon. 'I never had a movie where people cheered during the movie.” 🎥
"Jesus Revolution" was filmed primarily in Mobile, with some locations shot in California where the historical events took place.Jon and Andy Erwin, the movie-making brothers from Birmingham, have been working their way to this moment.
“He traced the beginnings out to California, to Calvary Chapel, and this moment with Chuck Smith, who Kelsey Grammer plays in our film, and then this hippie evangelist that Jonathan Roumie plays called Lonnie Frisbee,” said Andy, a producer on the film.
The Lauries are drawn in by the charisma of Frisbee, along with thousands of other California hippies who went from seeking meaning in drugs and free love to embracing Jesus and being baptized in the Pacific Ocean. When Grammer watched the movie the first time with his wife, Kayte, she cried and told him it was the best thing he’d ever done, Grammer said in a recent appearance on the “Live” morning show with Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa. Grammer, in tears talking about it, agreed.
