It's the movies ! 1000 minutes, that's more than a 16 hour saga   

[Leonard Match Valid]

Wow

 

1000 minutes

 

It would be like 16 movies of 1 hour each ?

 

Would it cover all 4 gospels?

[Shawnster]

1,000 divided by 60 is, indeed, 16.667

 

I bet the average length of the segments will be under an hour.  I would not be surprised if we end up with 20 parts minimum. If the average segment is 20 minutes long, that's 50  parts! 

 

How long have each segment of the live action dramas been?

Who's up for binge watching this???  

[Saffron]

Can't wait to see it!

 

This sounds like a lot of work. Anyone know how long the expect the project to take? 

[BlaqueCalalilly]

I can't wait to see this 😁😁

[Musky]

I wonder what it will be rated.

[AH173]

Maybe "T" for Theocratic 

[AH173]

We may need to watch it twice because of the duplicate topic!

62 weeks.

 This video will help those who will be resurrected too.

[coolbrz731]

I wonder if that's why this movie is so long.  "They'll have plenty of time in the new world...."

According to Jesus  -   Can we understand the title to mean this film is from Jesus perspective, possibly?

I hope they don't plan to release 1 minute a year for a 1000 years....

In my opinion, "according to Jesus" probably means that it's not from one Gospel writer's perspective, but all Gospels combined, similar to what we have in print as the book "Jesus—The Way".

I think we may have to wait a bit before we have enough "episodes" to binge on.

Do you think it will be limited to the gospels?   From Jesus perspective, it could go back further.  The Good News was born at Genesis 3:15.

You mean we might see Adam and Eve?

Tastefully    

[lord21]

This is great news. I've been waiting for this for 15 years (since the 2007 "Follow the Christ!" convention). Let's be patient to see the first parts of the feature drama about Jesus. I hope they will be released next year.
I think the theme of next year's convention will be "Patience".

It is a live-action dramatic series.

Every event recorded in the Gospels will be brought to life on screen.

It will be several years before this project reaches completion. However, we don’t have to wait until it’s all finished to begin seeing the results. I’m sure you’ll see Episode 1 in the not too distant future.

The dialogue is lifted directly from the sacred text.

Adam and Eve do receive a couple of mentions in the Gospels. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
