Jesus hits the big screen this weekend!
A new movie set to open nationwide today follows the character Joshua as he arrives in small-town Auburn, gets a job as a carpenter and proceeds to perform acts that appear to be miracles, leading many locals to suspect that he may be Christ.
Based on the first novel of Joseph Girzone's multimillion-selling "Joshua" series, "Joshua" is billed as "a modern parable about how compassion and love can bring a community together in unforeseen ways."
Tony Goldwyn ("Bounce" and "Ghost") stars in the G-rated film, along with Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham ("Finding Forrester" and "Amadeus") and Giancarlo Giannini ("Hannibal").
Shot last May in Chicago and Rome on a $10 million budget, "Joshua" was produced by Epiphany Films, which specializes in movies with spiritual themes.
"Before I saw the movie," Girzone said, "I was on pins and needles about how it would turn out. But then I saw the film and was deeply moved. Powerful messages were delivered in a gentle and subtle way."
The movie's score was produced by Christian artist Michael W. Smith and features songs by Jaci Velasquez, Point of Grace, Nicole C. Mullen and Amy Grant.
