The first trailer for Jimmy, the brand new James Stewart film biopic, launched at the moment and will be seen above.
And with it, the information {that a} surviving It’s a Wonderful Life star will cameo within the 2026 movie.
Karolyn Grimes was simply six years outdated when the Christmas basic hit cinemas in 1946.
The 85-year-old performed the youthful daughter of Stewart’s George, Zuzu Bailey.
The baby actress delivers the film’s well-known remaining line: “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.”
Grimes stated: “It has been an incredible experience to be part of Jimmy. Jimmy carries forward the values and emotional warmth that audiences have cherished for decades. It’s truly an honour to return the screen and take part in a film that pays tribute to one of the most enduring stories in cinematic history. I feel deeply grateful to have been invited to step back into a world that has meant so much to my life and the lives of so many others.”
Meanwhile, Stewart’s real-life daughter Kelly Stewart-Harcourt, who’s govt producer, added: “I am thrilled and grateful that Burns & Co is making the film, Jimmy, about my father, Jimmy Stewart. It highlights the part of Dad’s life of which he was most proud: his military service. I have long thought that it would be hard to find an actor who could bring my father to life without doing an extended Jimmy Stewart impersonation. But that actor has been found and his name is KJ Apa. I was privileged enough to visit the set in Ireland this last September, and there, I felt a magic. I know this will be conveyed in the film, and I can’t wait to see it.”
Jimmy hits cinemas on November 6, 2026.
