“I was obsessed with the documentary when it first came out,” admits Abe Sylvia, the screenwriter of “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” based on the 2000 documentary of the same name. “I saw it four times and was drawn to this reimagining of the legacy of Tammy Faye Bakker. Many years later, I’m driving along and I get this call from (producer) Rachel Shane and she says, ‘Are you familiar with this documentary?’ and I said, ‘Am I? Am I?’ I jumped right in.” Watch the exclusive video interview with Sylvia above.
“The Eyes of Tammy Faye” stars Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain as the title character along with Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield as Tammy’s husband Jim Bakker and Emmy winner Cherry Jones as Tammy’s mother Rachel Grover. Directed by Michael Showalter, the film depicts the turbulent life of the controversial televangelist and her family.
