'A.D.' HISTORICAL TV SERIES
GETS FIRST EPIC TRAILER WITH PONTIUS AND JESUS!
Sticking to the Bible based series, NBC has released the first trailer for their A.D: BEYOND THE BIBLE historical series, which will air next year as a follow-up to History's THE BIBLE exploring the exciting
and inspiring events that followed the Crucifixion of Christ. To start on Easter Sunday it will begin with the fall-out from the betrayal of Christ by Judas, tracing how the gospel began to spread despite intense
opposition from the Romans. As most of the world knows, the Crucifixion was only the beginning of the story. The immediate aftermath of Christ's death had a massive impact on his disciples, his 
mother Mary, and key political and religious leaders of the era, completely altering the entire world in an instant. Watch as the disciples struggle to survive and share their beliefs, guiding us from the sorrow of 
Christ's ultimate sacrifice to the awe-inspiring wonder of the Resurrection and beyond. Stellar cast includes Vincent Regan as Pontius Pilate, Richard Coyle, Emmet Scanlan, James Callis, Greta Scacchi and Juan Pablo Di Pace as Jesus!

'Tis the season for the biblical! Loved that poster for The Red Tent--very evocative.
ReplyDeleteDid you miss me? Well, I'm back to pester you again and enjoy catching up on what's new in the TV/Movie world.
We do like that poster, could be the prettiest one we've ever seen for a TV series
DeleteWelcome back! Did you bring any presents? :)
Yes, it is gorgeous!
Deleteagreed
DeleteI agree with the above comment...it is a biblical season. My man and I are taking RCIA together so he can get baptized. All the priest kept saying last week is how can we keep Christ in Christmas. Maybe I should recommend your page.
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, recommend HOLLYWOOD SPY to a priest and he will certainly have a heartaattack :)
DeleteWow, such a interest in the bible. Not sure I'll watch either of these but it's interesting anyways.
ReplyDeleteI will watch RED TENT since it is only two episodes and looks really epic, but will probably skip AD eventhough I love both Regan and Coyle
DeleteI'm definitely going to watch "The Red Tent" but will give "AD" a pass.
ReplyDeletesame here, Debs
DeleteI'll watch both because I'm into historical,biblical, archaeological, geographical and the rest of the "cals".
ReplyDeleteHahahha.
now, then there's a TV treat for you :)
Deletewell bring on the biblical assault... i think it will be...?
ReplyDeleteasssault it is
DeleteReally I love both Dezzy:)))
ReplyDeleteglad you do, Gloria :)
DeleteOh I love that poster for The Red Tent too.
ReplyDeleteisn't it pretty?
DeleteYes..."history"
ReplyDeletekinda... sorta... not
DeleteBased on true stories... Well, sort of...
DeleteI probably won't watch these. I've never been a fan of biblical shows. They rarely get them right.
ReplyDeleteespecially this producing team, they strike me a bit as overly religious :)
DeleteRarely is code for never...
Deletetoo true
DeleteI read the book, The Red Tent, and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI hear most ladies enjoyed it :)
DeleteWhile I steer clear of most shows along the lines of religion, I do think The Red Tent looks good. I may have to record it and give it try. If not, the delete button is a good friend of mine :)
ReplyDeleteyep, it does have that epic factor that might be interesting to us who don't usually watch religious shows
DeleteThat is a stunning movie poster. I love the color red. I don't watch too many religious movies and shows, but will catch some of them.
ReplyDeleteit is a gorgeous poster, isn't it?
DeleteA bunch of PMS-ing women trapped in a tent? Sounds like a roaring good time.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteI always like the concept of Biblical stories put on film, but unfortunately Hollywood often screws things up by promoting their own agenda and mixing in some weird stuff. Hope they do better with these films.

Tossing It Out
This second one is done by Roma Downey who did THE BIBLE too and she is extremely religious, they even aired that show in churches and used it for their religious propaganda :)
DeletePONTIUS AND JESUS is looking great, always an interesting period!
ReplyDeletehope they don't get too religious :)
