This is a compelling movie trailer as Antonio Banderas introduces us to King Herod from Journey to Bethlehem. 

In this interview, we get to see clips from the upcoming Christmas movie, Journey to Bethlehem. Antonio describes what it was like for him to play the role of King Herod. He talks about how he is evil and power-hungry. 

He describes Herod as “emotionally unstable with tremendous power.” The producers share the excitement of having Antonio on the film through the faith-based production company Affirm Films. They say that Antonio has one of the best songs in the movie.

Antonio reveals that he is a lover of musical theater, and it drew him to acting in a lot of ways. He reveals that he owns a theater. He says that he is performing in more shows on a live theater stage than in movies or television. Antonio says that there is only one who will be triumphant in this movie, it is Jesus.

Journey to Bethlehem looks appealing and inspiring for the entire family. The music is powerful, the acting is top-notch. There appears to be romance, humor, and adventure. It is always encouraging to see a big-name actor like Banderas in a film of faith. It creates hope that a new audience will witness the true story of the birth of Christ and learn of the purpose of God coming to earth to save us from our sins. 

As you watch this interview, you cannot help but get excited for the Christmas season around the corner. However, we can celebrate Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection every day. 

May this remind us to prepare our hearts for rejoicing this season, but also to share this good news of hope with others each day. Jesus is the One true king, and in seeing this villain on the big screen, may it remind us that no one is greater than our God.

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
