EWAN MCGREGOR IS JESUS
IN 'LAST DAYS IN THE DESERT'
Today's visual treat is the first photo of Ewan McGregor as Jesus in LAST DAYS IN THE DESERT! Ewan plays both Jesus and Devil in an imagined chapter from his 40 days of fasting and praying in the
desert. Jesus is tempted by evil while alone in the wilderness with devil appearing as the embodiment of his doubt that his father doesn't love 
him. Ciaran Hinds plays the father of a boy whom Jesus encounters in the desert! The movie should premiere at the Sundance Film Festival!

San Andreas will likely be silly and cliched, but a ton of fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteas all other disaster movies :)
DeleteI read Still Alice!!! I get so excited when a book I read (and enjoyed) becomes a movie. What a great role for Julianne Moore.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know it was made from a book, how delightful!
DeleteI'm so afraid of getting Alzheimers that Still Alice freaks me out. But it looks like a fantastic movie.
ReplyDeleteit sure is a super scary illness :( Here in my country most people die from heart and diabetes.
DeleteHow psychologically fascinating to have Ewan Macgregor portray both Christ and the Devil tempting him! Up until now, my favourite portrayal of that particular duo was in the Canadian film "Jesus of Montreal" where Jesus is the actor portraying Christ in a passion play and the Devil is a lawyer tempting him to sell out for fame and money.
ReplyDeletethis will both be Ewan, the movie should be visually striking too and very quiet and meditative
DeletePowerful performance by Julianne Moore, albeit not a great fan of either Alec Baldwin or Kristen Stewart - who seems surly in both the acting world and in real life.
ReplyDeletenow did you have to write the name of that wench? :) I deliberately didn't mention her in the cast :)
DeleteOops! like minds, Dezzy :)
DeleteI never mention that one here... I do have a black list of people who are never mentioned here :)
DeleteThat title "Ewan Is Jesus" jumped right out at me darling. I swear I'll never be able to take the Sacrament again with a straight face. When that wafer melts on my tongue I'll be thinking of Ewan. I'm going to hell for this...
ReplyDeletedid I just make Bible spicier for you, dahlink? :)
DeleteCatholics are discouraged from reading the Bible as the Church would just rather have us believe their version of malarkey.
Deletewhat else is new, dear?
DeleteSan Andreas... is the one that seems mindless and the one i need right about now. I will be hiding in the shadows for a little while, take care my friend.
ReplyDeleteLike for realz?

ReplyDeleteThere's actually a drawing of Jesus done by the Jehova's witnesses. On it is asks "Who is this man"? and it looks just like McGregor so someone wrote "Obi-Wan" and "he died to give Luke focus".
Deletethat is interesting

ReplyDeleteThe previous comment was incomplete. Wanted to Merry Christmas.
DeleteI don't celebrate, but thanks :) Still time to go till the holidays :) I will probably have a heartwarming post as usual on Christmas
DeleteI seem to have problem with my mouse and "copy/paste" function. Now the second comment is incomplete. Really frustrating! Two of my recent posts have had mistakes. I did do one on Malanie Thornton - but I've got to go back and verify a quote, that might have been a copy/paste, problem from Associated Press.
DeleteForgive the deletion! Is there a celebration you'd like me to write about, for you? If not - I look forward to your post!
Looking forward to reading the post on Melanie, she was the sweetest of people and I remember crying a bit when she died :(
DeleteI will also have a Christmas baking guest post at a friend's site this Christmas :)
I always have problems with my um... mouse. It must be the tail.
Deleteyou should pull it more often
DeleteEwan McGregor makes for a horrible Jesus. They say Jesus was from the Middle East, so the blonde highlights just aren't working for me. He needs dark hair and a deep tan to pull it off. Neither of which he has here.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you think he really existed? :)))
DeleteThat's because he's a reboot.
Deletehe so is
DeleteJulianne Moore is an amazing actress. She's one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteShe will probably get an Oscar nom and possibly a Golden Globe one this afternoon
DeleteOh the rock!!!!! His movies are usually excellent. Besides, he is nice to look at. :)
ReplyDeletehe is such a sweet person!
DeleteJesus. There. I said it.
ReplyDeleteI could become religious for Ewan
DeleteAh... of course.
Deletenaturally
