Martin Scorsese has revealed that he intends to shoot a new film in 2024, based on the 1973 Shūsaku Endō book A Life of Jesus.The legendary director, whose latest film Killers Of The Flower Moon is among the leading Oscars contenders this year, has said that he wants to adapt the book in a way that explores Jesus’ teachings without proselytising.In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Scorsese suggested that the film will be roughly 80 minutes in length, in stark contrast to both Killers Of The Flower Moon and his previous film The Irishman, which both clock in at well over three hours.Scorsese has previously adapted the work of Endō before, in the form of 2016’s Silence, starring Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver.Speaking about the reason for picking A Life Of Jesus, Scorsese said: “I’m trying to find a new way to make it more accessible and take away the negative onus of what has been associated with organised religion.”He added: “Right now, ‘religion,’ you say that word and everyone is up in arms because it’s failed in so many ways. But that doesn’t mean necessarily that the initial impulse was wrong.

Filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s been talking about making a new film about Jesus in recent months, and many have asked, does this mean a drama, something in the vein of “The Last Temptation Of Christ” or “Silence,” and we basically have our answer now: likely not. To recap, after Cannes last year, Scorsese traveled to Italy to attend a Global Aesthetics of the Catholic Imagination seminar, where he met briefly with Pope Francis.
