Cyrus Nowrasteh, who helmed The Stoning Of Soraya M., will direct the script he wrote with his wife Betsy. This fictional story follows young Jesus as he comes to discover his real identity and the truth surrounding his birth. Enzo Sisti (Passion Of The Christ) is executive producing. Shooting will take place at Cinecittà Studios in Rome, and on location in Matera, Italy. Given the heightened interest in faith-based fare, a film about the formative years of Jesus Christ should fare quite nicely.

Who wants to make book on ultra-conservative Christians complaining that the boozing, brawling and oft-married Bean should not be in a film about Jesus???

Hollywood Will Keep Making Bible Epics!

  * Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, which will be an epic adaptation of the Anne Rice novel of the same name, which she — the famous author of the Interview with a Vampire series — wrote after her conversion to Christianity.

The movie will follow Rice’s brilliant story that used exhaustive historical research to imagine what Christ’s early years might have been like in Nazareth. Release date: Easter Eve 2016.

I Met Jesus in Rome: First Look at a Movie About Jesus’ Childhood

Anne Rice’s engaging book Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt is being made into a movie that’s currently slated for release in the Spring of 2016. [link]

That’s how I met Jesus in Rome.

I also walked the streets of Alexandria, sat in the throne room of King Herod and stood on the steps of the Temple in Jerusalem – all in one day… while in Rome.

I was fortunate enough to be invited out to the set for the movie. They are filming at a movie studio that is truly historic. It’s called Cinecittà, Italian for Cinema City. Films like Ben-Hur and Gangs of New York have their cinematic roots there.

I was only on set for two days and it was late in the filming process. But, the benefit of arriving late in the process is that I was able to see the accumulation of a lot of the work from set design to costumes and even a bit of how they translated the storyline from book to silver screen.

From what I saw, I have to admit, I’m eager to see how this film continues on in the tradition of films from Cinecittà. My early suspicion is that it is going to do exceptionally well.

 I’ve not yet seen the screenplay, nor have I seen much of the footage they’ll be using to put the film together, but I can tell you that it’s coming from very intriguing source material, which has been thoughtfully used to provide the groundwork and inspiration for the screenplay. To the best of my knowledge, exploring this defining time in Jesus’ childhood has never been done before.

The acting I saw over the course of the two days was phenomenal. The cast and crew seemed to get along and function as one happy family – they truly liked each other and clearly loved being there doing what they were doing. The set design is phenomenal, costuming is gorgeous, hair and makeup is so perfect you really don’t even notice it (which I consider high praise in a film like this) and the directing has a professional easiness about it that seems to have set the perfect score for what the movie needs to be.

Much of the energy and tension of the book rest heavily on the internal dialogue of Jesus as he struggles with realizing that he is different and tries to enlist what are mostly unwilling adults in aiding him in his quest. Frankly, I’d have to imagine that would not only be difficult to translate into the visual medium of film, but would leave much lacking in terms of engagement and inspiration if it were to be directly translated from book to movie.
 

Fortunately, Cyrus and Betsy Nowrasteh, who wrote the screenplay, have given us a few important additions to the book which add a great deal of tension, motivation and forward propulsion that a film truly needs to engage a modern audience.

For now, I’ll save exactly what they are, but I suspect you’ll find their choices to be not only necessary but, most likely, you will also find them to be engaging. Fans of Science-fiction/Fantasy genre are going to find one of their choices to be particularly pleasing because of the actor brought in to make the addition as powerful as possible.

Thank you Patch !! So the book and the movie (just like Legends) are very different.

This must be Sean

I agree it must be Sean !! Is it possible that they hired him for the part and than wrote the screen play ????
If so they must really appreciate his talented performances as a great actor.

OK, I get a little nervous when they talk about Sean's powerful performance in a movie. Is it a performance
like Boromir, Ulrich, or Ned ??? Because we all know how that ends !!

Thank you Patch !! He certainly had some very NICE comments about Sean's acting and the movie !!

Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt to star Sean Bean and more

Bean is playing someone named Severus, but there is no one of that name in the book — at least not according to a quick Google Books search — so I don’t know who that character is or what function he will play in the story. Sounds Roman, though.

Thanks Patch, but don't you post a youtube video with a young man who said that he saw the movie ?? He
gave away a lot of information about this movie and how much he liked Sean as an actor. So I guess if you
want to know more about Sean's character and the plot just watch his review on youtube.

First look: The Young Messiah, based on Anne Rice’s Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. (And yes, the film has a new title.)

It’s been a long, long road to the big screen for Anne Rice’s Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt — see here for more details — and now, with the film in the can and the release date only six months away, there is one final twist: a change to the movie’s title.

Focus Features stated in a press release today that the film is now called The Young Messiah. Director Cyrus Nowrasteh explained the change this way:
 
This new title better conveys how our film seeks to present a realistic portrait of Jesus  as a child both grounded in faith and consistent with the adult Jesus revealed in the Bible. As believers, we hope that children will be drawn to the child Jesus and that this can be an uplifting film for the entire family,” said Mr. Nowrasteh. “It’s important to us that The Young Messiah inspires people to visit, or revisit, Jesus’ story from a fresh new angle, one that centers on an unexplored moment in His life between the nativity and His crucifixion and resurrection. We also hope that, in some small way, our film leads viewers to the transformation and grace that Jesus extends to us all.”

With any luck, this might mean we won’t have to wait much longer for a trailer. The film itself  comes to theatres March 11 — two weeks before Easter weekend.
