‘The 13th Disciple’ Imagines Jesus’ Twin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adventure, Religious, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
From The Ten Commandments (with Charleton Heston) to Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ, Biblical movies are a long-standing Hollywood tradition. And right now is the perfect season to start thinking about Jesus Christ, right?
Robert Sigl (a German movie-maker) will put a whole new twist on the age-old hero – he’s going to give Jesus an evil twin brother. Remember the Superman movie where the Man of Steel had to face himself? Okay, imagine that…only in a really Bible-like way.
The 13th Disciple, to be set in modern India, focuses on two German archaeologists. Their mission? To determine whether or not Jesus ever visited the country. During their quest, the twin archaeologists discover that Christ, too, had a twin—an evil one who has been reincarnated into the present-day.
Christ himself will not be a character in the flick, and the filmmakers say they do not intend to convey any sort of religious message with the fictional film.
