New Biblical film about the birth of Jesus

By: Melvin Rivera Velasquez on 12 July, 2006 28 comments

nativitymary.jpg (Denver, Colorado) New Line Cinema (The Lord of the Rings) the most successful film company in the world presented at the Convention "The Christian Booksellers Association (Christian Bookseller Association - CBA), the promotional trailer for" The history of Nativity (The Nativity story). The film opens in 3,000 theaters on December 1.

History has a strong female perspective. The film portrays the lives of Mary and Joseph for two years until the birth of Christ and emphasizes his love, his faith and beliefs. The film includes the output of Nazareth, Bethlehem and the journey through biblical characters such as King Herod, John the Baptist and the Three Kings of Orient, among others.


I could not attend the presentation because he was in meetings at this time, but tell me that the film seems to be very good.

It is directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown). Keisha Castle-Hughes plays Mary and Oscar Isaac (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, The Healer, All About the Benjamin) plays Joseph.

Australia's Castle-Hughes, who is 15 years old was the youngest actress nominated in 2002 for an Academy Award in the Arts for her role in the film 'Whale Rider'. He also had a small, silent participation as the Queen of Naboo in "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith".

Mike Rich (Finding Forrester, Radio, The Rookie) a Christian screenwriter of Hollywood, wrote the story. Mike is a committed Christian who spent eleven months to read the scriptures, related books and consult with biblical scholars. In December 2006 he wrote the screenplay for the film.

My friend A NDRÉS Schwartz, director of the Hispanic division of Tyndale had the privilege of seeing the script and told me that he thought he was faithful to the Scriptures.

Tyndale has the rights to publish articles related to the film. They plan to edit a gift book with photographs of the film, a devotional, evangelistic resources, a Christian novel or a book that families can share in the holiday season.

The film began signing on 1 May in Morocco and Italy. Many scenes are being filmed in Matera, Italy, a place very similar to Palestine and Israel. Some say it is closer to ancient Israel that the current Israel. He also filmed The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson - 2004) and The Gospel of Matthew (Pasolini - 1964).

    God gave his life for us now give their lives for the god's brothers vendiga

  25. Elias on: 19 September 2009 at 7:41 pm

    The production is excellent, the truth is a big advantage we invest to make something of quality on the life of Jesus, I saw the film again and was shocked by the love of God revealed to us Jesus as the gift that we all need, though the film has some details (like the wise men from the east come the night Jesus was born, which the scripture was another time) keeps the essence of the message and doing well illustrates broader cultural context (the process marriage) which is developed in the Savior's birth. Greetings and blessings.
