Zachary Levi Takes On a John Wayne Role in Angel's New 'Angel and the Badman'

Angel, the faith-oriented studio and streaming service that dropped the "Studios" from its name last year, has produced a new version of "Angel and the Badman," the 1947 Western that starred John Wayne. Zachary Levi plays the lead in the remake. The film has drawn a notice from Variety, which finds the picture engaging in parts. For a town built on the business of making and remaking movies, the pairing of a classic Wayne title with a company best known for its streaming audience is the kind of release worth watching. Further details on the production, including when and where local audiences can see it, were not part of the initial report.
