The JESUS Film Project has begun work on a new adaptation of its famous film for the next generation. The animated version, slated to release in December 2026, will use many of the audio tracks already recorded for the live film, which has been translated into more than 2,000 languages. Holly Newell with the JESUS Film Project says the original 1979 film is the most viewed film of all time—it’s been viewed 11 billion times in the past 45 years, according to Mission Network News. The JESUS Film Project is a ministry of Cru, which has three stars and a “C” transparency grade in the MinistryWatch database, and a donor confidence score of 73.
