Directed by D.J. Caruso (“Disturbia”) and written by Timothy Michael Hayes, this “biblical epic follows Mary, Joseph, and their newborn son, Jesus, as they flee the relentless pursuit of King Herod, portrayed by two–time Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins,” per Netflix. Here’s more from the streamer:
What is Mary about?
Through Mary’s eyes, this coming-of-age biblical epic tells the story of one of history’s most profound figures and the remarkable journey that led to the birth of Jesus. Chosen to bring the Messiah into the world, Mary (Noa Cohen) is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding. When King Herod (Anthony Hopkins) orders a murderous hunt for her newborn baby, Mary and Joseph (Ido Tako), go on the run — bound by faith and driven by courage — to save his life at all costs.
To bring the movie world of Mary to life, Aloe and the filmmakers consulted with a wide range of religious scholars and leaders to capture the story’s historical elements, and to center Mary of Nazareth’s experience, revealing a side of the Queen of All Saints we rarely see on screen.
When will Mary be on Netflix?
Mary will land on Netflix on Dec.6.
