Martin Scorsese to Begin Filming New Jesus Film This Year

The Film, Based on Shūsaku Endō’s 'A Life of Jesus', Aims to Make Christianity More Accessible and Remove Negative Associations with Organized Religion

Martin Scorsese has completed the screenplay for his next film, a movie about Jesus Christ, and plans to begin filming later this year.
The film is based on Shūsaku Endō’s book 'A Life of Jesus' and will be set mostly in the present day, focusing on Jesus’ core teachings.
Scorsese aims to make the film more accessible and remove the negative associations with organized religion.
The film is expected to be around 80 minutes long, a significant departure from Scorsese's recent lengthy films.
This will be Scorsese's second film about Jesus, following the controversial 'The Last Temptation of Christ' in 1988.
