Joel Courtney Cast In New Faith Based Movie 'Jesus Revolution'

Joel Courtney has booked the lead in a new movie!

The 24-year-old The Kissing Booth actor will star in the faith based film Jesus Revolution opposite Jim Gaffigan, reports Deadline.

The movie is inspired by the true story of a national spiritual awakening in the early 1970s and its origins within a community of teenaged hippies in Southern California.

Joel will take on the role of Greg Laurie, “a counterculture teen in the late 1960s seeking meaning and purpose, who eventually joined the Jesus Revolution in Southern California and went on to start Harvest Christian Fellowship, one of the largest congregations in America.”

Jesus Revolution comes from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company, the same producers of KJ Apa‘s recent faith based movie I Still Believe.
