Searchlight has released the official trailer for the biographical drama The Eyes of Tammy Faye [TEOTF]. Jessica Chastain [JCHAS] stars as televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker and Andrew Garfield [AGARF] as her husband Jim Bakker. The couple founded the religious TV network PTL and used their donor's contributions for personal expenses. The Eyes of Tammy Faye opens in theaters beginning September 17th.
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. Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.
