In “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain play Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, the self-styled Christian TV personalities who did more than anyone else to mold televangelism into a game-changing, culture-shaking, credit-card-maxing industry/cult/diversion. The movie, which is a ticklishly fascinating rise-and-fall saga, was directed by Michael Showalter, who almost always makes comedies, so you might expect him to treat the Bakker saga as a delicious slice of kitsch — which, in a sense, it was.
There’s a bit of that, but Showalter is up to something more sly, and maybe more artful. In “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” he gives Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker the full dignity — and scandal — of their humanity. He knows that a lot of people think of the Bakkers as walking caricatures, and that in the case of Tammy Faye, with her infamous troweled-on ’60s-raccoon-from-Maybelline clown-freak makeup, she verged on self-parody.

After Douglas Sirk but before reality TV, there was bird-voiced televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, the bighearted, spotlight-seeking American success story laid low by her misplaced love for a crooked husband, blind trust in schemers, and old-fashioned greed. Had Jim Bakker not come along to hustle their young marriage into a cash cow of a ministry, one could see the cheery, hard-working, socially liberal Tammy Faye leading a perfectly flush life entertaining the adoring faithful, leaving only her cosmetic boldness as a source of tabloid derision. (Or was it a facial armor that could only arise from being married to Bakker?)
Yet scandal did come for Tammy Faye, after which queer art swooped to rescue her with the 2000 documentary “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” from Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. A sympathetic case of gay adoption that teased as only family could, it also stressed where redemption and pity was warranted for so melodramatic a life.

The first trailer for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” has arrived, and no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That’s really Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield, looking entirely transformed into Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker, respectively.
The biopic, inspired by the documentary of the same name, will tell the story of the infamous couple that hosted the television program “The Ptl Club” and developed Heritage USA, a now-defunct Christian theme park in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Jim Bakker later was indicted, convicted and imprisoned on numerous counts of fraud and conspiracy. The couple divorced, and Tammy Faye married Roe Messner. She was then diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996 and died of the disease in 2007.
The trailer starts like any good story does — at the beginning. Here, Chastain still looks like herself, albeit with jet black hair. She arrives at her mother’s door to introduce her new husband, Jim Bakker,...

Searchlight Pictures has released the trailer for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” starring Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain as infamous televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.
The trailer gives viewers a sneak peek into the brightly-colored world of Jim and Tammy, but things begin to go south when financial improprieties, a sex scandal and rivals break up their marriage — and their empire. As the trailer progresses and the Bakkers grow older, Chastain and Garfield become nearly unrecognizable, showing off the hair and makeup department’s skills.
Directed by Michael Showalter and based on a true story, “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” details the rise, fall and redemption of Jim and Tammy Faye during the 1970s and ’80s. The Bakkers went from humble beginnings to creating the world’s largest religious broadcasting network, as well as a Christian theme park. The couple soon soared to fame for their teachings about love and acceptance,...

"God does not want us to be poor!" Searchlight Pictures has revealed the first official trailer for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, a new film from filmmaker Michael Showalter and Jessica Chastain – who also produced this. The movie depicts the history of the televangelists Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker. During her career Tammy was noted for her eccentric and glamorous persona, as well as for moral views that diverged from those of many mainstream Evangelists, particularly her acceptance of LGBT views and reaching out to HIV/AIDS patients at the height of the AIDS epidemic. Jessica Chastain stars as Tammy, with a cast including Chandler Head as Young Tammy, Andrew Garfield as Jim Bakker, Vincent D'Onofrio as Jerry Falwell, Cherry Jones, Fredric Lehne, Mark Wystrach, Sam Jaeger, Gabriel Olds, and Jay Huguley. It looks like something much more profound than just a story of two Jesus-loving televangelists, and I'm...

Searchlight Pictures has updated its 2021 release calendar, dating Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” for December 3. The date puts del Toro’s latest in the thick of the 2021-2022 awards season. Searchlight appears to be following the same release plan it gave del Toro’s last movie, “The Shape of Water,” which started its U.S. theatrical rollout on the first weekend of December. “The Shape of Water” debuted at the Venice Film Festival, winning the Golden Lion, and it seems likely “Nightmare Alley” will show up on the fall film festival circuit.
Del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” is adapted by the filmmaker, and film critic Kim Morgan, from the 1946 William Lindsay Gresham novel of the same name. The ensemble cast includes Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Ron Perlman, Rooney Mara, and David Strathairn.

Searchlight Pictures, ever the believer in theatrical, has dated four releases for 2021.
Their Sundance horror pickup The Night House will turn its lights on July 16. The David Bruckner directed titles which Searchlight shelled out a reported $12M for last January follows a widow (Rebecca Hall) who begins to uncover her recently deceased husband’s disturbing secrets.
Their Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker televangelist biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye will debut on Sept. 24. The pic, directed by Michael Showalter and written by Abe Sylvia, takes an intimate look at the rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. In the 1970s and ’80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity. However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.

A Fox Searchlight project that has been fermenting for some time now and that got a firm greenlight October 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina will see the day in 2021 – but Searchlight (post Disney merger) might sit the early part of 2021 if they don’t have firm plans for The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

Vincent D'Onofrio will play famed evangelist Jerry Falwell in Fox Searchlight's The Eyes of Tammy Faye, which also stars Jessica Chastain.
Fox Searchlight’s new film about the rise, fall, and resurgence of one of the most infamous televangelists continues to take strong shape with its cast. Previously Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield had already joined the congregation, but now Vincent D’Onofrio is also entering the film’s pews. He might even be leading them in a prayer or two.
D’Onfrio has been cast as Jerry Falwell, the Southern Baptist pastor who founded Liberty University and turned evangelism into big business during the 20th century. D’Onofrio is likely best known still for his haunting work in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, but his commanding performance as Wilson Fisk on Daredevil strangely makes his casting in The Eyes of Tammy Faye seem perfect. After all,...

McGee (Sean Murray) takes the stairs. Tony (Michael Weatherly) comments, "You have been looking increasingly Kate Mossish there McTim. What are you down 2-3 lbs?" Yet another reference to McGee's weight. Been a lot of that this season since Sean trimmed down. Perhaps Tony should take a leaf out of his book! Ha. Ducky (David McCallum) asks everyone to spend Thanksgiving with him, but they all have plans. Tony's attending a poker tournament. Ziva (Cote de Pablo) asks after Ducky's mother and comments she hardly recognizes Ducky these days. Gibbs (Mark Harmon) tells them of the Db in the cornfield and Ducky gives him his invite. Gibbs returns the favour; an invite to a cornfield. Tony talks about maize, which is the Indian word for corn. Ziva corrects him the Indian word for corn is "makki." He meant the American Indian, in which case he should've said Native American. Ducky...
