Branagh & Brosnan in KING OF KINGS

Kenneth Branagh (A HAUNTING IN VENICE) and Pierce Brosnan (THE LAST RIFLEMAN) lead an all-star voice cast in Angel Studios’ upcoming animated feature THE KING OF KINGS, set for an Easter release on April 11th. Based on a Charles Dickens short story, the film follows a transformative bedtime tale between a father and son that brings the story of Jesus to life through a child’s imagination.

Branagh takes on the central role of Charles Dickens himself, who recounts the greatest story ever told to his youngest son Walter (voiced by Roman Griffin Davis). As Dickens narrates, the biblical tale unfolds through vivid animation, with Brosnan portraying one of history’s most notorious figures – Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ultimately ordered Jesus’ crucifixion.

The two acclaimed British actors are joined by an impressive ensemble including Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Mark Hamill as King Herod, Ben Kingsley as High Priest Caiaphas, Forest Whitaker, and Oscar Isaac. The film is directed by Seong-ho ‘Jay’ Jang, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Rob Edwards (THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG).

Pierce Brosnan is set to headline a gripping new crime series for Paramount+, stepping into the role of Conrad Harrigan, the patriarch of a powerful Irish crime family based in London. The upcoming drama will see Brosnan starring alongside Tom Hardy and Helen Mirren in a global crime narrative that promises high-stakes drama and intense family dynamics.

Tom Hardy rounds out the principal cast as Harry Da Souza, a professional conciliator working directly for the Harrigan family.

The project, currently untitled and set to debut in 2025, represents a return to Brosnan’s dramatic roots. Known for his iconic roles in James Bond and various thriller films, the actor continues to demonstrate his range by diving into another complex criminal narrative.

The series is expected to deliver high-caliber acting and intense storylines that showcase Brosnan’s continued ability to command the screen in compelling dramatic roles.
