Feb. 28 is the release date of the film, “Son of God.” This was part of the History Channel’s mini-series, “The Bible” which aired in 2013, and has been cut down and edited into a three-hour edition for the big screen. Those who watch it in the theaters will also see footage that wasn’t originally aired in the miniseries.
The movie is about the entire life of Jesus Christ, how he was born of virgin Mary and includes His ministry as well as His death and resurrection
Diogo Margado plays the part of Jesus. Mother Mary is played by Roma Downey, Mary Magdalen is played by Ambe Rose Revah and Peter is played by Darwin Shaw.
It portrays many of Jesus’ teachings and miracles, including him raising his friend Lazarus. It also includes stories like the time when Jesus multiplied fish and bread to feed crowds of 5,000 people.
The hope is that the movie will serve as more than just a movie but a ministry to help reach more lives for Christ.
The film is rated PG-13 for the intense violence depicted in during the crucifixion. It is the first film about the life of Christ to be released into the theater since, “The Passion of the Christ” was released in 2004.
