Rooney Mare is offered the role of Mary Magdalene
Rooney Mara received an offer to play one of the most famous biblical characters - Mary Magdalene in a biopic, which is going to be movieed by See-Saw Films. The Hollywood Reporter reports this with reference to its sources. The project, which has agreed to support the movie company Universal Pictures, is described as an attempt to present to viewers "an authentic and humanistic image of one of the most mysterious spiritual leaders in human history." Let us recall that according to the New Testament, Christ expelled seven demons from Mary Magdalene, and after that she became one of his most devoted followers. The Gospel of Mark states that it is to her that the Savior appears first after the resurrection, and it was Mary Magdalene who conveyed the good news to other followers of Christ. Mary Magdalene is revered by the Orthodox Church as an equal to the apostles saint and is not identified with the evangelical sinner. In Catholicism, her name is associated with a nameless harlot who repented and joined the disciples of Christ. In more exotic versions, Mary Magdalene is represented by the earthly wife of the Savior, who, after his ascension, became the keeper of the Holy Grail.
