Revelations’ ‘Hate to See You Go’ Will Star Morgan Freeman, Alfre Woodard, Trevor Jackson, and More
Director Ben Tishler recruits stellar actors like Morgan Freeman, Alfre Woodard, and Bill Burr, Trevor Jackson, Common for the new feature film Hate To See You Go. Revelations’ film tells the story of Chicago Blues musician Sonny Bell, played by Freeman.
Despite age slowly creeping up on the musician, he refuses to retire and hits the road with his long-term band for the last tour in hopes of continuing his passion for playing Blues music. Tishler also co-wrote the script with Rob Stone. The story is inspired by Stone’s experience playing harmonica with some of the most well-known and respected Blue’s artists.
With Freeman’s Revelations Entertainment banner, he will executive produce the project along with Lori McCreary (Invictus), Gary Lucchesi (Underworld: Awakening), Shelby Stone (Lackawanna Blues), and Jon Levin (Stargirl).
