In a recent interview with, Scorsese elaborated on what his plans for this project are and revealed it will only “kind of” function as a movie.
“I think I’m finally getting around to what it could be,” Scorsese said. “It’s kind of a film, but it wouldn’t be a straight narrative, it wouldn’t be a documentary, it’d be a combination of things. And I think it may have to go back to Shūsaku Endō and his Life of Jesus , which I found to be interesting because it takes Jesus as a… figure of thinking, and a question of Jesus from a point of view that’s not Western. And so I’m finding that comfortable in a way.
He told Sight and Sound that the project might have “characters” playing Jesus and that it might be set in the “modern-day,” though he also added that he doesn’t know “yet” as the development is still coming along., begins playing in theaters tonight, October 19, 2023.
