Angel Studios Sets ‘Bethlehem’ From ‘Sound Of Freedom’s Alejandro Monteverde; Sam Worthington, Ben Mendelsohn, Gael García Bernal & Deva Cassel Star


'Bethlehem' is a new movie from 'Sound of Freedom' filmmaker Alejandro Monteverde about the Christ child and Mary. Sam Worthington, Gael Garcia Bernal and Ben Mendelsohn star.

In the movie, which is currently shooting in Morocco and eyeing a 2025 theatrical release, Mary will do anything to protect her newborn son from the murderous King Herod, who is obsessed with finding and killing the child. Bethlehem is produced by Leo Severino and Eduardo Verasteugi, and will again pair Monteverde with Screenwriter Rod Barr, Cinematographer Gorka Gomez Andreu and Production Designer Carlos Lagunas. Monteverde’s Sound of Freedom was a surprise summer 2023 hit, grossing $250M at the global box office in its true-life tale of Tim Ballard, a former U.S. government agent who embarks on a mission to rescue children from sex traffickers in Colombia.
