EXCLUSIVE: Former DreamWorks exec Mark Sourian has been appointed as President of Production for the Angel Studios Original The Chosen, with plans to build out an entertainment “universe̶…
, prior to that overseeing production on titles likeSourian’s hiring follows The Chosen Inc.’s appointment of Nathan Davis as Head of Marketing Strategy and Operations on the heels of his 15+ years at Disney leading in-theater marketing efforts on Marvel, Star Wars, Disney and Pixar releases.
What he found instead was a show of strong “production value” and “vision,” to Sourian recalling that of greats he’s worked with like Steven Spielberg and Mark Boal. “Right away, I could tell that there was a real emotional connection that Dallas had to the material,” he shared. “And the more that I got to know Dallas and the more that he talked rather secularly, frankly, about the show, referencing shows like, that really intrigued me in terms of making me feel like, ‘Wow.
While Sourian acknowledges that it’s unusual for a President of Production to be set for one single series, he describes the move as appropriate for a project that’s “firing on all cylinders” both online and even in theaters, particularly given that it already boasts a seven-season commitment and can be used as a launching pad for further faith-based project across film and television.
“When you look at the Bible, not to sound crude, but it is a universe — not to describe it as the Marvel universe or the DC universe. But it is a universe with iconic figures and characters, and I include the Old Testament and the New Testament,” said Sourian. “There is a desire to tell a lot of different biblical stories, all of which are primal stories that have been told in one fashion or another, but have never been told specifically as they relate directly to the Bible.
Continued Sourian, “there’s a sense of an ever-increasing bandwidth for us to tell other stories that are about the Bible…So, I think my role and my title suggests a bigger universe and suggests the desire of The Chosen Inc. to delve into more of that.”
