First Look: ‘Son of God’ reconstructed from ‘The Bible’
What: “Son of God”
Cast: Diogo Morgado, Roma Downey, Amber Rose Revah, Louise Delamere and Darwin Shaw
Writers: Richard Bedser, Christopher Spencer, Colin Swash and Nic Young
Director: Christopher Spencer
The story: The life of Jesus (Morgado), from his birth through the resurrection, is told in this movie assembled from footage from the History miniseries “The Bible.”
The buzz: That they’ve already seen most of the movie (producers promise some deleted scenes from “The Bible” have been included) hasn’t stopped church groups across the country from buying out multiplexes to see what’s being celebrated as the first motion picture about Jesus’ life since 2004’s “The Passion of the Christ.”
