Screenwriter Kelly Fremon Craig is earning rave reviews right now for her film, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. She’s having quite the moment because today the trailer for her next film has already dropped. Ordinary Angels stars Oscar winner Hilary Swank in a film about one woman who takes on an extraordinary burden to help someone in need.
Based on a true story, Ordinary Angels is about the miraculous work a single person can do when they put their heart and soul into it. Swank’s character is a Kentucky hairdresser who befriends a single father with two daughters and decides to do everything in her power to help them during a medical crisis.
Swank is joined in the cast by Reacher breakout Alan Ritchson, along with Nancy Travis, Tamala Jones, Amy Acker, Drew Powell, Skywalker Hughes, and Emily Mitchell.
Behind the camera is The Case for Christ filmmaker Jon Gunn. Fremon Craig is joined on the script by veteran actress and novelist Meg Tilly.
Ordinary Angels opens in theaters on October 13th.
“Based on a remarkable true story, “Ordinary Angels” centers on Sharon (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed (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 and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.”
