"God does not want us to be poor!" Searchlight Pictures has revealed the first official trailer for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, a new film from filmmaker Michael Showalter (of Hello My Name Is Doris, The Big Sick) and Jessica Chastain – who also produced this. The movie depicts the history of the televangelists Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker. During her career Tammy was noted for her eccentric and glamorous persona, as well as for moral views that diverged from those of many mainstream Evangelists, particularly her acceptance of LGBT views and reaching out to HIV/AIDS patients at the height of the AIDS epidemic. Jessica Chastain stars as Tammy, with a cast including Chandler Head as Young Tammy, Andrew Garfield as Jim Bakker, Vincent D'Onofrio as Jerry Falwell, Cherry Jones, Fredric Lehne, Mark Wystrach, Sam Jaeger, Gabriel Olds, and Jay Huguley. It looks like something much more profound than just a story of two Jesus-loving televangelists, and I'm glad it gets into the dark, icky side of their lives. ›››
