Jesus of Nazareth | Paul Verhoeven

[Cremildo]

[...] he is continuing to work on his long-gestating Jesus project. He has written a book on the subject and has Birke collaborating on the screenplay. Immediately after Cannes, they will be working on a new outline. The basic idea is to portray Jesus as a humanist and an insurrectionist, more Che Guevara than hippy-like miracle worker. “What I want to show is what Jesus said and stands for that is interesting to us now.” [source]
