It was the original big-screen blockbuster, an epic movie on a grand scale depicting the greatest story of all: the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille and featuring a cast of thousands, The King of Kings (1927) stands as one of the sensations of Hollywood’s early days.
In honor of this year’s Easter season, a restored print of The King of Kings will be screened with live music on Friday at 7 p.m. at Red River Theatres, 11 S. Main St.
The screening is a chance to experience this landmark film as it was intended to be seen: in a high quality print on the big screen, with live music and with an audience. The screening will take place in the Red River’s Stonyfield Culture Cinema.
Tickets are $10 per person.
