Quote:Producer Roma Downey can’t help but get caught up in a story. Especially when it’s the greatest story ever told.
The new film Resurrection, which she and husband Mark Burnett produced, depicts the events of Easter Sunday. It premiered this past weekend on Discovery Plus, a fast-rising streaming service that launched in January.
“When we open the movie, they’re grieving and afraid,” Downey says of the disciples. “They think, ‘If they just killed Jesus, maybe they’re going to kill us next?’ But they decide to stay at least for three days. Because Jesus promised them he [would] be back.”
She advances to the pivotal Easter morning scene outside the tomb. “The look on those Roman guards’ faces is brilliant. They don’t even know what they’re looking at!” Downey told me in a video interview.
What they were seeing without understanding was “the greatest miracle of all time that changed the world forever.”
