Today, Jesus will be visiting a theater near you in the film "Son of God" produced by Mark Burnett across America.
Mark Burnett expects it to be a big hit, explaining these are the roots of every American and their desire. Burnett states in an interview with FOX411 "In general media circles people can say that people get uncomfortable around God. But actually, more Americans as a community go to church than do anything else. More Americans go to church on Sundays than watch football. 'Son of God' illustrates that in such a huge way that [this is what] Americans desire. Their hope. What does this nation stand for? The Bible and free enterprise are the two things that built the nation."
What do the marketers want you to know about the film? That "brings the story of Jesus' life to audiences through compelling cinematic storytelling that is both powerful and inspirational."
While the husband speaks about the likely success of the movie, Roma Downy hopes that the film will appeal to a broader audience other than Christians. The ones who are not familiar with the story of Jesus Christ.
"If you came to the movie and you didn't know anything about Jesus you would really get a sense of the journey of his life. It was our job to make sure that the journey emotionally connected with you," she explained. "So we told the story on the one hand as a political thriller and at the same time, it is a beautiful love story. There is intimacy to it, and we hope that you're drawn in, that you are emotionally engaged and that you get a sense that you really know who Jesus is."
