Resurrection to Appear on Silver Screen Again, Again, Again

Scores of movies have been made to represent the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, but a new film pitched this month will be one of the first to document the time after Jesus’ death up until the Pentecost.

Risen—The Story of the First Easter has been put into the works by Hyde Park Entertainment, and will focus on the Apostle Peter as he retells the events following the resurrection of Christ up until the Pentecost, 40 days after Easter.

The movie is just one of at least four upcoming films that will tackle the same period until Jesus’ ascension, revealing a growing interest in the previously unexplored timeframe after Jesus’ Passion Week. Others include FoxFaith’s The Inquiry, Canadian based-film The Sword of Peter, and “Left Behind” author Tim LaHaye’s The Resurrection.
