'JESUS' film now in 1,000 languages

ORLANDO, Fla. (BP)--The "JESUS" film reached a major milestone in July when it debuted in its 1,000th language, Lanka Kol, spoken by more than 1 million people in India.

"Now we have the opportunity to begin sharing the Gospel story with them in their own language," Jim Green, executive director of The JESUS Film Project, said in a statement.

As the most translated film in movie history, the JESUS film outpaces translations of blockbusters like "Gone with the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz," "Star Wars," "Titanic" and "The Lion King" combined, according to a news release.
