Official announcement for MMOC

You’ve probably seen it, but if not, head over to Barb’s and say congrats:

Aloe Entertainment has put together its New Testament ensemble for “Mary, Mother of Christ.”

Camilla Belle (”10,000 BC”) will star as the titular character and will be joined by Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the dual roles of Gabriel and Lucifer and Peter O’Toole as Symeon. Al Pacino and Jessica Lange are in talks to play Herod and Anna the Prophetess.

Mary Aloe is producing along with Dune Films (“Hidalgo,” ”Prince of Persia”). Argentine helmer Alejandro Agresti (“Valentin,” “The Lake House”) is directing the film, which begins lensing in Morocco in May.

MGM plans to release the film wide in 2,000-plus theaters April 2, 2010, which coincides with Good Friday. Media 8 Entertainment will handle international sales and distribution for the film and will introduce the project at the European Film Market in Berlin. Mike Dolan is exec producing. Source
