From MovieMaker:
Anthony Hopkins plays the fearful King Herod the Great and newcomer Noa Cohen plays the Virgin Mary — the young mother of Jesus Christ — in Mary, a new origin story described as a ticking-clock “biblical survival thriller” created with feedback from religious leaders around the world.
Photography has wrapped in Morocco, and the film is now in post-production. UTA, which represents Hopkins, a two-time Best Actor Oscar winner for The Silence of the Lambs and The Father, describes it as “a coming-of-age film about a young girl who changed the world forever.”
