“I have to make it! This is our last chance. If we don’t take it, Michelle dies!” Lionsgate has debuted a new trailer for Ordinary Angels, a religious drama based on a real medical emergency and struggling family. Arriving in theaters nationwide starting this October, sticking with this date despite the ongoing strikes in Hollywood. Inspired by the true story of a hairdresser who single-handedly rallies an entire community to help a widowed father save the life of his critically ill daughter who desperately needs a liver transplant. “Faith can make the impossible possible,” is the tagline. This is leaning heavy on the religious side of the story, which means they will get the attention of many faithful Americans. The movie stars Hilary Swank as Sharon Steves, with Alan Ritchson, Nancy Travis, Tamala Jones, & Amy Acker, plus Skywalker Hughes and Emily Mitchell as the kids. This is as cheesy as they come! A story of “faith” and “miracles”, or really just good people coming together and doctors doing their job to help a sick kid. Have a look below.
Here’s the second official trailer (+ new poster) for Jon Gunn’s Ordinary Angels, direct from YouTube:

Based on a remarkable true story, Ordinary Angels centers on Sharon Steves (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family out and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels. Ordinary Angels is directed by producer / filmmaker Jon Gunn (aka Jonathan M. Gunn), director of the faith-based films Mercy Streets, Like Dandelion Dust, Do You Believe?, The Week, and The Case for Christ previously. The screenplay is written by Kelly Fremon Craig (Post Grad, The Edge of Seventeen, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret) and Meg Tilly. Lionsgate will debut Gunn’s Ordinary Angels in theaters nationwide starting on October 13th, 2023 coming up later this fall. Anyone interested in watching this?
