British actor Joseph Fiennes plays Clavius, a pagan Roman centurion, tasked to search for the body of Jesus Christ after his tomb is found empty. See what Fiennes and Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis, who plays Jesus, have to say about the movie Risen in the above the video.
As a post-crucifixion story, Risen is said to be a non-preachy ‘Jesus film’ that’s told more in the vein of a mystery thriller.
Directed by veteran Kevin Reynolds (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Count of Monte Cristo) the movie also stars Tom Felton (Harry Potter movies) as the Roman soldier Lucius and Peter Firth, as Pontius Pilate.
