(Hollywood Reporter) Millennium Entertainment said Thursday it will handle the national distribution of “Persecuted,” a religious-political thriller that stars former Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson as a priest and is co-produced by Gray Frederickson, who won a best picture Oscar for The Godfather Part II.
Persecuted is about a televangelist, played by James Remar, who is framed for murder after he refuses to publicly support a U.S. senator’s plan that would compel religious leaders to provide “fairness” and equal time to all faiths.
