>A new trailer for the upcoming Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara (The Social Network, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) and Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line, The Master), has been released by Universal. Directed by Gareth Davis (Lion), the film hits theaters on March 16, 2018 and tells the story of Magdalene (Mara) and her life with Jesus (Phoenix).
>Mary Magdalene is an authentic and humanistic portrait of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood spiritual figures in history. The biblical biopic tells the story of Mary (Rooney Mara), a young woman in search of a new way of living. Constricted by the hierarchies of the day, Mary defies her traditional family to join a new social movement led by the charismatic Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix). She soon finds a place for herself within the movement and at the heart of a journey that will lead to Jerusalem. Written by Helen Edmundson and Philippa Goslett, Mary Magdalene also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tahar Rahim.
>Directed by DGA Award winner Garth Davis (Lion) and produced by See-Saw Films’ Iain Canning (Lion, The King’s Speech) and Emile Sherman (Lion, The King’s Speech), Mary Magdalene is the latest collaboration from the team behind last year’s $140 million worldwide box office success and six-time Academy Award-nominated film Lion alongside Animal Kingdom producer Liz Watts.
