Scorcese to film new Jesus movie

Oscar winner Martin Scorsese has confirmed a script for his new movie, A Life of Jesus, is now finished. Scorsese said he plans to shoot it later this year. The film will be based on Shūsaku Endō’s book A Life of Jesus. Scorsese said the film will focus on Jesus’ core teachings in a way that explores the principles but doesn’t proselytise. ‘I’m trying to find a new way to make it more accessible and take away the negative onus of what has been associated with organised religion,’ Scorsese said.
