Pope Francis will play himself in the new religious movie “Beyond the Sun,” marking his acting debut and the first time that a pope has appeared in a feature film.
“Beyond the Sun” — from Ambi Pictures — is a family adventure based on the Gospels. Pope Francis asked the filmmakers to make a movie that communicated Jesus’ message to children.
AMBI co-founders Andrea Iervolino and Lady Monika Bacardi will finance and produce the film. Graciela Rodriguez wrote the screenplay and will co-produce with Gabriel Leybu. Monsignor Eduardo Garcia will be Pope Francis’ advisor.
All profits from the film will be donated to Argentinean charities El Alemendro and Los Hogares de Cristo, which aid at-risk children and young adults.
Iervolino made his first film in his hometown of Cassino, Italy, at age 15.
“Our excitement and gratitude toward His Holiness, Pope Francis participating in this film is beyond words,” he said. “This is not just a movie for us, it’s a message, and who better to have on your side to deliver an important societal and spiritual message than the Pope.”
Bacardi said, “It is a great honor for Andrea and I to have the opportunity to work with His Holiness, Pope Francis, to spread the awareness of his message, through this film. We will make a movie everyone involved with can be proud of. Not only will families from around globe enjoy this film and be entertained, but they will be moved.”
Principal photography is slated to begin early this year in Italy. Ambi will oversee worldwide distribution for “Beyond the Sun” through its Los Angeles-based international sales division.
Ambi’s slate includes a remake of Christopher Nolan’s “Memonto”; “Lamborghini – The Legend,” a biopic on Lamborghini founder Ferruccio Lamborghini; “Septembers of Shiraz,” starring Salma Hayek and Adrien Brody; “This Beautiful Fantastic,” starring Jessica Brown Findlay and Tom Wilkinson; the Federico Fellini documentary “The Man of La Dolce Vita”; and James Franco’s “In Dubious Battle,” starring Franco, Nat Wolff, Selena Gomez, Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris and Bryan Cranston.

He could make film history if he theoretically won an Oscar for portraying himself.

I dunno - he's Argentinean, right? I think that makes him one of the ever-elusive white hispanics, like George Zimmerman. Those guys seem to be pretty hit and miss.

There’s a transubstantiation joke in there somewhere...
Pope seems like a good guy, it looks like the profit is going to a good cause. Kudos all around.

I don't always drink wine, but when I do, it's Jesus' blood.
Stay Catholic my friends.

Lets just hope he doesn't get as hammered as Jesus is reported to have been!

I thought maybe it was going to be Die Hard VI or possibly the next Jurassic Park movie. How disappointing.

It would be a fantastic film if the pope posed as a religious leader in order to steal the vast wealth of the Catholic Church and distribute it to the needy, only for the tourist and ex-policeman John McClain to stumble onto the plot and save the day by rumbling the pope in a series of explosions and pope-mobile chases through the halls of the Vatican past priest robes made of gold and silver thread in times when millions lived in serfdom, possibly ending with a slow-mo fall from the pope balcony...

I'm thinking John Woo style slo-mo shootout scene with much flowing of robes, doves flapping around and the Pope dual-wielding Berettas as he does the Lord's work.
Bit like that part in Face Off...

I think it's a pretty big stretch to call something that will end up nestled comfortably between The War Room and the Kirk Cameron oeuvre in the annals of bargain bin history a "feature film".

No, no, no.
Live Pius, and Pray Hard!
The Pope and John McClain fight back against a corrupt Cardinal that tries to kill the Pope and take over the Vatican. John McClain must go undercover as Cardinal John McCormick if Ireland, infiltrate the halls of the Vatican, and assassinate the corrupt clergymen and his hired goons!

You know, a Jurassic park with people replaced with sentient coconuts would make a fairly interesting movie.

I am unsure who should direct? The Coen Brothers, the Farrelly Brothers, The Wachowski Brothers, or McG. Your thoughts?
