Every few years we seem to get a new portrayal of Jesus on the big screen with the last being Kevin Reynolds’ Risen starring Joseph Fiennes. Next up we have a new version that tells the story from the perspective of Mary Magdalene with Rooney Mara starring as Mary and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus. Directed by Gareth Davis (Lion), the movie is described as “an authentic and humanistic portrait of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood spiritual figures in history.” With a supporting cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tahar Rahim, Mary Magdalene hits theatres just in time for Easter on March 30th, 2018. Check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.

    I need to get back on the Twitters, man… I’m over here refreshing my podcast feed every 5 minutes like a goddamn fool.

  • Tommy

    Love me some grungy bible movies.

  • Prestyr John

    Is there a new ep. this week?

  • Sean

    No sorry we had a technical issue that prevented us from releasing this week.

  • Prestyr John

    No worries, thanks for the work y’all do!

  • Tommy

    Noo. Will it be delaying the Fincher Premie?

  • Beat_C

    this week just wasn’t the same without an FJ episode ????

  • Beat_C

    did they think they could avoid the “whitewashing” discussions by casting chiwetel ejiofor and have him talk in accent while everyone else doesn’t? very distracting.

  • Matt the Kiwi

    Was thinking that exact same thing! At least cast Kumail Nanjiani as Jesus so he looks roughly like he’s from the right part of the world. I guess it’s ok to make a fictional character look however you want (unless it’s Santa or Dr Who).

  • Henrik

    Joaquin Phoenix looks amazing.
