A new movie about St. Padre Pio, starring Catholic convert Shia LaBeouf will be available for public viewing in theaters and streaming, beginning June 2.
The movie will be released and distributed in North America by Gravitas Ventures, according to deadline.com.
One of the most popular Catholic saints of the 20th century, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, commonly known as Padre Pio, was a Capuchin Franciscan friar, priest, and mystic.
Padre Pio is mostly known for his deep wisdom about prayer and peace; his stigmata; miraculous reports of his bilocation; being physically attacked by the devil, and mastering the spiritual life.
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2022 and played again at the Mammoth Film Festival in early March 2023.
LaBeouf, who plays the role of Padre Pio, spent four months living with Capuchin friars while preparing for the film.
