MEDIA ADVISORY, July 8, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- An unknown actor was casted to play the lead in the much-anticipated movie, "David and Goliath."

The casting directors casted in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and London to find the right actor to play David. Over 4,000 actors submitted to play the role.

"We wanted to find the director, Tim Chey, a phenomenal actor," says Kelly Jacobs, who helped cast the film in LA, "so we casted a wide net around the world."

The net ended up finding Miles Sloman, a young, up-and-coming actor in London.

"When Miles auditioned," says Tim Chey, "I knew instantly he was the one. This was the young King David who could defeat the giant warrior. He showed a lot of courage on the set even falling off a donkey when the helicopter came too close."

The film just wrapped principal photography in North Africa and in studios in London.

"David and Goliath" looks at one of the most powerful and beloved Bible stories of all time. The film will focus on the early life of David who fought against the Philistine giant, Goliath against all odds.

The epic film comes at a perfect time. Hollywood is embracing faith-based films as of late and the audiences are growing at a record pace according to reports.

"David and Goliath" is set for an early-2015 nation-wide theater release.

Chey is no stranger to shooting in foreign territories. He just produced the $20 million film, "Freedom'"starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Sharon Leal, William Sadler shot on the Amistad and "Epic Journey" that took him to 29 countries.
