From an inside source we have news of a new film in development that's being described as a prequel to the wildly successful and horribly depressing 'The Passion of the Christ'. 'Mary, Mother of Christ' is to follow the story of Jesus' mother, particularly her struggles with King Herod. The most awesome of news is that Al Pacino is set to fill the most nefarious role of King Herod of Galilee. This is all to be taken lightly as nothing is set in stone and no production has yet begun, but how amazing would this movie be? All to often is Mary overlooked for who she was and the life she lead...I guess it's easy to be lost in the shadow when your son is Jesus Christ. Honestly though I'd love to see a historically accurate showing of Mary's life! Imagine, even if your not of the religious mindset imagine as you would any fictional movie, being told you're going to give birth to the savior of man. Then imagine the life you'd lead trying to raise the progeny of God and the agony you would feel upon his execution. Now tell me this isn't a story worth telling. I'm excited for the idea, and doubly excited for the possibility of this actually happening. Well keep you updated as more news arrives.
