Pope Francis is set to be the first pope to star in a feature film.
The Bishop of Rome will appear as himself in the forthcoming movie Beyond the Sun.
The film will be a “family adventure,” with Pope Francis asking
filmmakers to create a movie communicating Jesus’ message to children.
All profits from the film will be donated to children’s charities in
Argentina — the Pope’s home country.
The films is being financed and produced by Ambi Pictures, with
co-founder Andrea Iervolino saying in a statement: “Our excitement and
gratitude toward His Holiness, Pope Francis participating in this film
is beyond words. This is not just a movie for us, it’s a message, and
who better to have on your side to deliver an important societal and
spiritual message than the Pope.”
