"Mary Mother of Christ" To Start Production Next Month


Mary Mother of Christ is an upcoming historical movie set for theatrical release that will retrace the life of Mary (September 8, 20 BC?-January 1, 45 AD?), usually referred to by Christians as the Virgin Mary, a Jewish woman of Nazareth in Galilee, identified in the New Testament as the mother of Jesus Christ.

Director James Foley will be helming the project, and Actress Camilla Belle got the lead role as Mary. The film is based on a script written by Benedict Fitzgerald and Barbara Nicolosi, both Catholics therefore it will probably approach the subject from this perspective. Benedict Fitzgerald co-wrote the script of Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ. Filming will be done in Morocco. The movie Mary Mother of Christ should be released sometime in 2012.

Cast of the movie Mary Mother of Christ includes:

- Camilla Belle as Mary
- Al Pacino as Herod
- Peter O'Toole as Symeon
- Diogo Morgado as Joseph the Carpenter

According to IMDb, filming starts March 14, 2011. The budget for the film $36,000,000 (estimated).

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.
