The life, death and resurrection of Jesus has been the subject of many movies and TV series through the years, but Risen is looking to explore a different angle on part that particular story. Check out the first trailer for the film, which features Joseph Fiennes, Tom Felton and Peter Firth.
Kevin Reynolds’ film, which he co-wrote with Paul Aiello, follows Roman military tribune Clavius (Fiennes), a firm believer in his empire’s power and someone tasked with removing resistance. But when it appears that Jesus of Nazareth has – in accordance with his followers’ beliefs – risen from the dead after his crucifixion, Pontius Pilate (Firth) assigns Clavius and his aide Lucius (Felton) the task of figuring out the mystery, to avoid an uprising in Jerusalem.
It’s certainly a sideways look at the story, and one that hasn’t often been tackled to such a degree. It could prove controversial, but the filmmakers look to be making real efforts to show both sides. With Cliff Curtis, Maria Botto, Mark Killeen, Antonio Gil and Stephen Hagan also in the cast, Risen will be in our cinemas next March.
