Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge) and Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) have not worked together in any known movie or project to date, but this is about to change as they have been chosen to star in Martin Scorsese‘s new drama.
“Life of Jesus” is based on a novel written by acclaimed Japanese author Shūsaku Endō, first published in 1973, which focuses on the life of Jesus Christ from a unique and often controversial perspective.
The director himself will co-write the screenplay with Kent Jones, known for other productions such as the dramatic thriller “Diane” and the documentary “A Letter to Elia”. Check here for more details about the film…
