LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- In what is becoming the most 'intriguing Bible movie of the year', pastors, politicians, celebrities, joined more than 500 people and groups from more than 10 countries to see David take on Goliath.

"I was so blessed seeing this film," said Jimmy Delshad, Mayor of Beverly Hills. Mayor Delshad echoed the sentiments of the vast majority of people who attended.

"I thought Tim Chey (the director) did a stunning and remarkable job," said Pastor Mike Lewis outside the packed theater at Fox Studios. "A lot of people in my section were crying – very moving and, I add, very God-honoring film."

"Amazing and awesome film on crazy faith," said Joel Rodrigo. "I can't wait to watch the film again. Huge blessing seeing this."

The film stars Miles Sloman, who plays David, Richard Summers-Calvert, Makenna Guyer, Paul Hughes, Simon Davies, Joseph Emms, and Jerry Sokolosky, who plays Goliath. Sokolosky is one of the tallest men in the world at 7'8.

Sloman and other cast members flew from London to be at the premiere.

The film wrapped principal photography in North Africa and in studios in London.

'David and Goliath' looks at one of the most powerful and beloved Bible stories of all time. The film will focus on the early life of David who fought against the Philistine giant, Goliath against all odds.

The epic film comes at a perfect time. Hollywood is embracing faith-based films as of late and the audiences are growing at a record pace according to reports.

'David and Goliath' is set for an early-2015 nation-wide theater release. The film team is raising $10 million in P&A (prints and advertising) to be on 1,000 screens.
