Martin Scorsese met with Pope Francis this weekend during a post-Cannes tour of Italy and announced a project centered on Jesus. The film comes in the wake of an appeal issued by the leader of the Catholic Church to artists around the world.

The film about Jesus comes in the wake of an appeal issued by the leader of the Catholic Church to artists around the world, according to a report."I have responded to the pope’s appeal to artists in the only way I know how: by imagining and writing a screenplay for a film about Jesus," Scorsese said Saturday at a Vatican press conference."And I'm about to start making it."

Held by the Jesuit publication La Civilta Cattolica and Georgetown University, Scorsese discussed how the pope's call"'to let us see Jesus' moved him," La Civilta Cattolica Editor Antonio Spadaro said. "Continue to dream, to be restless, to conjure up words and visions that can help us interpret the mystery of human life and guide our societies toward beauty and universal fraternity," he said."Always embrace, poetically, the anxious yearnings present in the human heart, lest they grow cold and fade away," he told artists.
