This is a biopic I didn’t see coming. I’ve enjoyed quite a few Jimmy Stewart movies. It’s a Wonderful Life is a fantastic Christmas movie, not to mention Rear Window, Anatomy of a Murder, and The Philadelphia Story. If you haven’t seen a Jimmy Stewart movie, then you should hardly consider yourself a film fanatic. I know, that’s gatekeeping, but I mean it as a joke. Check out the trailer for this 2026 release.
KJ Apa is the actor cast to portray Jimmy Stewart. In the trailer, it sounds like he will do an amazing job with the voice and Jimmy’s mannerisms. From what I’ve read, this movie takes place right after The Philadelphia Story, when Stewart enlists and becomes a combat pilot. I didn’t know Jimmy Stewart served in the armed forces.
Anyway, I think this movie looks great, and I hope to get to see it in the theater next November.
“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.”
