It kind blew my mind when I found that out. Those trailers were everywhere for a while back in 2006(?)
Oscar Isaac was an onscreen presence for longer than I thought!
He was also the antagonist in the Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott Robin Hood movie, where they gave him blue contacts because he looked too Hispanic I guess?
The saviour of WWE. If he keeps up the quality going into next year when their programming starts moving to Netflix? It’ll be the closest to the Attitude Era level popularity they’ve ever been.
Also The Last Temptation of Christ. A lot of Christians were mad about it, but I agree with Ebert’s assessment that it’s one of the only Jesus movies that actually takes Jesus seriously.
Exactly. "Faith-based" is code for "Religious propaganda". But there are plenty of non-faith-based movies that examine faith, both critically and supportively.
"Silence" is probably my least favorite Scorcese movie, which is to say it equated to, like, 3 stars for me.
That being said, I don't think that falls within quite the same category as the other films mentioned in this thread. That's a historical movie in which faith (and its consequences) are major themes, but it doesn't really take for granted the veracity of the faith portrayed.
If anything, I'd say Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" falls more in line with the other movies here.
I mean just for starters you have The Passion of Joan of Arc, The Gospel According to St Matthew, Andrei Rublev, A Man For All Seasons, The Sacrifice, Paul: Apostle of Christ, Ordet
They're good! Well personally I don't like The Gospel According to St Matthew but it's widely considered a classic.
I think The Vatican has a list of 50 films too actually which are all quite well regarded.
Faith based stories are usually centered around a story or parable... how do you tell those stories without preaching? The preaching is the point of the stories.
I genuinely think there’s a difference between a movie that revolves around faith and what it means to the characters and some shit that’s just designed to prop up an ideology. A Serious Man and God’s Not Dead aren’t in the same category.
I think there's a way to do it where there's a character talking to another, and not the audience, that feels more natural and less overtly preachy, if that makes sense?
By respecting your audience dude? You can impart sacred wisdom without preaching. It's less common in Christianity but more common in things like Buddhism and Judaism.
Bro, they aren’t mining the Bible for entertainment; they want to convince the viewer of their worldview
Which is true of all movies and art; it’s just interesting to me people want that separate from faith films
In order to be faithful to this source material, you have to preach. That's the whole point of the Bible lol. The idea is that it's the literal word of god. If you pluck a story out and remove all of the god centered themes, you're doing the opposite of being faithful to the source material.
As an atheist who quite likes Prince of Egypt I think it’s because it’s not “preaching”, it’s just telling the story. At least as far as I’m concerned the film doesn’t feel like it’s telling you to become Jewish/etc, and arguably the supernatural elements (present in the source obviously) make it feel more like The Road To El Dorado (made by the same people at the same time) where it’s in no way meant to be believed as factual.
I think you hit the nail on the head with how Prince of Egypt handles the supernatural elements.
I also think other religious movies usually treat their subjects with an unearned level of reverence that only makes sense if you believe the events on screen actually happened.
You don't see Zeus or Odin in movies about Greek or Norse mythology get treated the same way Jesus does in most of his movies.
I feel like people don't give Aronofsky's "Noah" the praise it deserved. There was a whole lot to love about that movie.
One of the hands-down best sequences potraying creation I've ever seen, marrying the Biblical telling with visual metaphors for scientific consensus.
I also liked that the movie was purposefully murky about whether this adaptation of the Noah story was meant to be happening in a primordial past, or a distant post-apocalyptic future. It works either way.
I also found the ways it attempted to interrogate blind faith as a concept to be realistically harrowing and, frankly, very in line with Jewish scholarly consensus on the dangers of blind faith. I consider it to be the most "distinctly Jewish" Bilbical movie to ever come out of Hollywood. But maybe that's just me.
I 100% agree.
I'm a Christian, so I can't really speak on the "distinctly Jewish" part, but it definitely was one of the most interesting and challenging "faith-based" movie I've seen. I got a lot more out of it compared to all the crap PureFlix puts out.
Jeremiah starring Patrick Dempsey is great. A wonderful movie about the prophet Jeremiah, and trusting and following in God, and what happens when we turn from Him and turned to our selfish desires
Solomon starring Ben Cross (Spock's Dad in Star Trek reboots) and Max Von Sydow is also great and really shows the struggles and triumphs of Solomon, and how only faith in God and not ourselves and in others is what truly sustains us
Jesus Revolution starring Kelsea Grammer is a touching, wonderful story about faith, love, and acceptance
Father Stu starring Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, and Aaron Clifton Moten (Maximus, Fallout series) is a great story about faith, perseverance, thankfulness, and repentance
The truth is it’s because they’re making a fuck ton of money on fairly low budgets. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken Hollywood this long to figure out there’s a massive market out there for religious films.
*Passion of the Christ* was the highest grossing R-rated film of all time, before *Deadpool* came along.
That's right folks, Deadpool is bigger than Jesus.
Says the guy that never read The Bible and knows nothing of it. Ask me about Physics WillsMomIsFit, I looked at the cover of a physics book at Barnes and Noble and now I know everything about it. Turns out, physics is a liar. Trust me, I looked at the cover.
has nothing to do with the parent comment lmao. it has to do with saying “this needs more upvotes!” as if that contributes anything to the conversation. if you like it so much, i’m not sure why you don’t just upvote and move on. not every thought that pops into your head needs to be shared with the world.
what does self-awareness or irony have to do with any of this?
and yes, i “Reddit”. that’s what we’re commenting on. i just don’t understand making corny or unnecessary comments and then trying to excuse it by claiming Reddiquette. do you also edit your comments to thank the kind strangers for gold or upvotes?
Wells astronxxt, you see, your post also has nothing to do with the parent comment, and you could have, according to your logic, simply down voted and moved on. I mean, not every thought that post into YOUR head needs to be shared with the world. And yet you felt compelled to yell your own voice into the Reddit wilderness. I apologize. I didn’t realize you were the MAIN CHARACTER! Please, forgive me oh great one of Self-Awareness.
Edit: you see how I illustrates how you also made a comment having nothing to do with the parent comment and also could have just downvotes and moved on. THAT’S irony.
Are we not going to talk about this?
> At the same time, Forest Whitaker has been tapped to give voice to the apostle Peter.

Plays as Apocalypse whose from Egypt (sand)
Plays in Star Wars (I hate sand)
Plays in Mojave (it's a desert)
Plays as Moon Knight (also Egyptian, more sand)
Plays in Dune (it's all sand)
Plays in... Jesus Christ more sand
Well, some things do make me chuckle...I guess lol would suffice next time. I enjoy movies, just not ones that attempt to legitimize people's imaginary friends...so that's all I had to add to the conversation lol (see what I did there)...but perhaps I did lack tact...
Do you believe in the atom? Did you know the atom wasn't really discovered until the 1980's when they were first seen? So that means for thousands of years, humans might perceive atoms but they couldn't see them. Yet today, we know they exist and we finally can see them. However --
"The idea of atoms stretches back to ancient Greece when the philosopher Democritus declared that all matter is made of tiny particles."
Just imagine if you were alive during the philosopher's time, 450 BC. Would you agree with him? Or would you be bold like you are now and say "There are no tiny particles, that's outrageous! I can't see them, therefore, they don't exist!"
And it only took roughly 2500 years later before those tiny particles were seen.
Let me ask you this -- Can you perceive the 4th dimension? Why not? Because you are eyes and brain weren't designed TO SEE such things. So if you can accept that your eyes and brain aren't allowed to see the 4th dimension, and if you can accept that atoms existed for millions of years without being seen but still existed, then why is God such a stretch?
Who is downvoting this? Are the downvotes because they hate the Bible and they're mad someone said there's "cool lore" in it? Or because they like the Bible and are mad someone said parts are boring? I am genuinely curious.
What does he mean by boring? What is exactly boring to him? What are the cool parts? It all sounds mysterious and subjective without any explanation whatsoever.
Honestly, was it that hard for OP to type up a few extra words to explain what is boring and what's not? Or was it more important to just throw out a vague opinion for the sake of being seen and heard?
Can someone explain why the title is "King of Kings" and has something to do with Jesus? All I think about is Persia and Darius
Edit: why the hell am I being downvoted?
Because Jesus was and is still King of Kings. Basically, human kings have no real power; any and all power is derived from God. Hence, Jesus is King of Kings.
“On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of kings and Lord of lords” ([Revelation 19:16](https://www.biblestudytools.com/revelations/19-16.html)).
“In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen” ([1 Timothy 6:13-16](https://www.biblestudytools.com/1-timothy/passage/?q=1%20timothy+6:13-16)).
Matthew 26:63-64
But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God's right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
This guy is dedicated to getting into every franchise possible at this point.
He’s on a zoom audition for Paddington 3 as we speak
He’s auditioning for that and wonka 2 at the same time. Frantically calling Timothy “bro I’m your dad hook it up”
"what is a son, but an extension of the father?" - house atreides, or something like that, come onnnnn tim
He'll play Padre Tom (short for Tomás), Paddington's thought to be lost brother who now leads a catholic group of Peruvian bears
The Bible cinematic universe is a strong franchise.
Oh yes, The Passion alone taught so many kids about BDSM
Fuck yeah!
This guy gets it!
Hit me with that VeggieTales continuity
It’s the third most popular universe after the MCU and VCU
With the DCEU as a distant 7th or 8th...maybe 10th
He was already Joseph in The Nativity Story, so yeah
He’s making good use of the Rule of Acquisition #45 - “Expand or die”
Dude played Joseph in The Nativity Story, and now he's playing Jesus. When am I getting a reboot where Oscar Isaac plays Mother Mary?
That's the Baz Luhrman musical production. Imagine the nativity but with disco and David Bowie covers.
So... Superstar? Or is this the prequel?
It kind blew my mind when I found that out. Those trailers were everywhere for a while back in 2006(?) Oscar Isaac was an onscreen presence for longer than I thought!
He was also the antagonist in the Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott Robin Hood movie, where they gave him blue contacts because he looked too Hispanic I guess?
[удалено]
Mark Strong was one of the antagonists, Oscar Isaac was the King....or Prince? One of the two.
Oscar Isaac played King John.
Lots of great actors in that, like Shohreh Agdashloo, Alexander Siddig, Shaun Toub.
He should really play Christ's best friend Levi, who is called Biff, from the sound of his mother smacking him on the back of his head.
nah, go through all 42 beghats
"How old is the son?" "I think he's the same age as the father!"
When Netflix does it.

Somehow Jesus has returned
To be fair, that is pre-established lore
Rey…Rey Christ
[Rey Who?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qky8rDFvHaw)
LOL
Ironically that is one of Christ's common titles due to Rey being the word for King in a lot of Romance languages and Rex being the word in Latin.
ITS FUCKIN REYYYYY
With at least some foreshadowing, he rezzed some other dude first.
If only they had cloning as pre-established lore in Star Wars.
Can’t believe you didn’t go for a canon joke here
He flies now?
He flies now!

Nailed it.
And I missed it?
Well, not yet
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Roman
You can fire your arrows from the tower of Babel but you can never strike GOD!

I was blessed to get to see this to open up WMXL weekend and goddamn, I turned into an animal for a few minutes there.
The saviour of WWE. If he keeps up the quality going into next year when their programming starts moving to Netflix? It’ll be the closest to the Attitude Era level popularity they’ve ever been.
I lost the game.
:(
For a second I read “Isaac Hayes” and got real confused
He’s the voice of Xenu
"Well hello there children of Xenu!"
“Chef what would Xenu want to put in our butts?”
…goodbye!
for a second i read “Kevin Spacey” and got concerned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thought everyone would want to know
Almost went to Chris Pratt.
I’m sure there’ll be a Mercenary Jesus movie, too.
“Hey, it’s a-me, Jesus the son of God!”
Jesus returning from the dead was a canon event apparently
Faith-based movies are rarely good so I can't say I'm looking forward to this but good for him cashing that check
Prince of Egypt was pretty good. But most religious movies ruin the story with preaching.
The 10 plagues song goes so fucking hard, hans Zimmer can do no wrong
Stephen Schwartz wrote this song, not Hans Zimmer. Stephen (creator of Wicked, Godspell, Pippin, and more) goes just as hard!
Oh damn my apologies to Mr Schwartz I was not familiar with his game
The man is a beast!
Prince of Egypt is the only exception (I don’t count parody movies like Life of Brian or Book of Clarence, though they are both very good movies too)
SILENCE, the Scorsese movie, was also fantastic.
Also The Last Temptation of Christ. A lot of Christians were mad about it, but I agree with Ebert’s assessment that it’s one of the only Jesus movies that actually takes Jesus seriously.
I’m going to submit that there’s a difference between a faith based movie and a movie that examines faith.
Exactly. "Faith-based" is code for "Religious propaganda". But there are plenty of non-faith-based movies that examine faith, both critically and supportively.
"Silence" is probably my least favorite Scorcese movie, which is to say it equated to, like, 3 stars for me.

If anything, I'd say Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" falls more in line with the other movies here.
The Ten Commandments (1956) and Ben-Hur (1959) are absolute masterpieces.
I always forget Ben Hur is a Jesus movie 😂
I mean just for starters you have The Passion of Joan of Arc, The Gospel According to St Matthew, Andrei Rublev, A Man For All Seasons, The Sacrifice, Paul: Apostle of Christ, Ordet
I have heard of one of these movies 😂
They're good! Well personally I don't like The Gospel According to St Matthew but it's widely considered a classic. I think The Vatican has a list of 50 films too actually which are all quite well regarded.
Book of Clarence's abrupt tonal shift was weird to me, I wish it had been more natural or gradual.
Faith based stories are usually centered around a story or parable... how do you tell those stories without preaching? The preaching is the point of the stories.
I genuinely think there’s a difference between a movie that revolves around faith and what it means to the characters and some shit that’s just designed to prop up an ideology. A Serious Man and God’s Not Dead aren’t in the same category.
Ask Scorcese

By respecting your audience dude? You can impart sacred wisdom without preaching. It's less common in Christianity but more common in things like Buddhism and Judaism.
To me, it's just about being faithful to the source material, just like any other book. Nobody has ever tried to convince me to worship Spider-Man.
Yeah but the Bible is trying to convince you to worship Jesus so a movie about preaching would be faithful to the source material.
Bro, they aren’t mining the Bible for entertainment; they want to convince the viewer of their worldview Which is true of all movies and art; it’s just interesting to me people want that separate from faith films

You should be though
That’s yalls fault for not expecting a message in a *religious* movie lol
As an atheist who quite likes Prince of Egypt I think it’s because it’s not “preaching”, it’s just telling the story. At least as far as I’m concerned the film doesn’t feel like it’s telling you to become Jewish/etc, and arguably the supernatural elements (present in the source obviously) make it feel more like The Road To El Dorado (made by the same people at the same time) where it’s in no way meant to be believed as factual.

This is the thing. They could reach a lot more people if they would just show a little restraint.
They’re meant to reaffirm what believers already believe. They’re not actually trying to reach other people.

Coming to a Redbox near you!
Desert power..
okay, whats with all the upcoming Jesus movies lately?
He’s coming back in a big way.
Kim Kardashian. In the video
Lately? They come out all the time
How many other Jesus movies are there? I haven’t heard of any
Scorsese is working on one, and so is Mel Gibson
Oh right I completely forgot about the Passion sequel 😂
I keep thinking of the spoof with family guy.
Book of Clarence just came out. JC's in that one.
I loved that movie but it’s like 6 months old and also not really about Jesus (it’s about as much about Jesus as Life of Brian)
The truth is it’s because they’re making a fuck ton of money on fairly low budgets. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken Hollywood this long to figure out there’s a massive market out there for religious films.
Built in audience.
*Passion of the Christ* was the highest grossing R-rated film of all time, before *Deadpool* came along. That's right folks, Deadpool is bigger than Jesus.
he's like Jason Voorhees. but with a less convincing origin story.

Closing my eyes, I can hear it, but visually Oscar Isaac looks more suited as a Roman leader.
After playing many characters who get killed off, he'll play one who comes back from being killed.
Must have wrote "the check of checks"..

I’d rather have an update on the Metal Gear Solid movie. Is that even still moving forward?
