Faith-based studio Pure Flix has brought online the official trailer for the highly-anticipated biblical epic Samson, the thrilling retelling of a champion’s calling, betrayal and redemption. Check out the Samson trailer below!
“If you’ve ever faced adversity and wondered if God was big enough to see you through it, this is your film,” says Pure Flix CEO Michael Scott.
The action-packed film stars Billy Zane, Golden Globe winner Rutger Hauer, Jackson Rathbone, Lindsay Wagner, Caitlin Leahy and Taylor James in the title role of Samson.
Premiering nationwide in theaters on February 16, Samson is based on the powerful, biblical epic of a champion chosen by God to deliver Israel. His supernatural strength and impulsive decisions quickly pit him against the oppressive Philistine empire. After being betrayed by a wicked prince and a beautiful temptress, Samson is captured and blinded by his enemies. Samson calls upon his God once more for supernatural strength and turns imprisonment and blindness into final victory.
Besides the nationwide movie release, Dream Label Group and Pure Flix Entertainment will release “Samson: Songs From and Inspired By the Motion Picture” on February 2.
Samson was shot on location in South Africa, directed by Bruce Macdonald and written by Zachary Warren Smith, Jason Baumgardner, Galen Gilbert and Timothy Ratajczak.
