Bible pic to air on TBN

The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) is rolling out the proverbial red carpet as THE GOSPEL OF JOHN will be shown in its entirety with no commercial interruptions on the worlds largest religious network on Friday, July 22 at 7:00 pm and again on Saturday, July 23 at 2:00 pm (PST).

Paul Crouch Jr., Vice President of Administration and frequent host of the popular TBN program Behind the Scenes, officially announced that the network has secured the exclusive rights to broadcast the world premier of THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, the story of Jesus Christ`s life as told by the apostle John and narrated by internationally acclaimed Canadian actor, Christopher Plummer, a veteran of over 80 motion pictures.

Plummer, no stranger to the genre of Biblical cinema, says he welcomed the opportunity to participate in the word-for-word version of THE GOSPEL OF JOHN as the film`s narrator. According to Plummer, he was absolutely riveted to the story in the film.

"For many, it`s part of their childhood, yet for the first time it seemed totally fresh and new to me," he says.
