<p><span class="cpx-body">Blending state-of-the-art animation with live action, <em>HOP</em> tells the comic tale of Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers. As Fred struggles with the world&#8217;s worst houseguest, both will learn what it takes to finally grow up. The film is helmed by Tim Hill, director of the blockbuster <em>Alvin &amp; the Chipmunks</em> and produced by Chris Meledandri&#8217;s Illumination Entertainment (<em>Despicable Me</em>).</span></p>

<p><strong>Date:</strong> April 11</p>
<p>From the songs of his mother&#8217;s heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David&#8217;s story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage, culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom.</p>
