In the lead up to Easter in just six weeks time, Universal Pictures and Focus Features have released a final trailer for Mary Magdalene starring Rooney Mara in the title role and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus Christ.
Garth Davis (Lion) chairs the film set in the Holy Land in the first century C.E. as a young woman (Rooney Mara) leaves her small fishing village and traditional family behind to join a radically new social movement. At its head is a charismatic leader, Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix), who promises that the world is changing.
Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tahar Rahim co-star in the film which hits the UK on March 16th. No U.S. date has yet been set.
