Martin Scorsese’s Jesus film to be 80 minutes long, to go on floors late 2024
The HinduMartin Scorsese’s next is based on Shūsaku Endō’s book A Life of Jesus. Endo had previously written Scorsese’s Silence, a 2016 historical drama starring Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver. To be set in the present day, the film is set to focus on the core teachings of Jesus in a way that explores the principles but doesn’t proselytise, reported the LA Times. Scorsese told the publication that, “I am 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.” “Right now, ‘religion,’ you say that word and everyone is up in arms because it’s failed in so many ways. And I’m saying that as a person who’s going to be 81 in a couple of days.” The film’s runtime is in stark contrast to the runtime of Scorsese’s latest The Killers of the Flower Moon, which is 206 minutes long.
