When DeVon Franklin and Tyler Perry sat down to map out their first project under a new partnership with Netflix, they knew it had to carry weight. Their choice was daring: a modern retelling of Ruth and Boaz, one of the Bible’s most enduring love stories. “Scripture is the foundation of our faith,” Franklin, 47, told The Christian Post in an interview ahead of the release. We wanted to take a story that has lasted for generations and bring it to life in a way we’ve never seen before.”The film, Ruth & Boaz, arrives on Netflix on 26 September. Franklin and Perry hope Ruth & Boaz will continue that momentum.
