Directed by D. Caruso Disturbia and written by Timothy Michael Hayes, this uplifting biblical epic follows Mary, Joseph, and their newborn son, Jesus, as they flee the relentless pursuit of King Herod, portrayed by two - time Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins.
Producer Mary Aloe was a key force in the creation of this film and worked diligently to put together an amazing team both above and below the line. With Hannah Leader, Gillian Hormel, and Joshua Harris also serving as producers and Pastor Joel Osteen as an executive producer on the film, Mary will take audiences on the coming-of-age journey of one of the most revered young women of all time.
Chosen to bring the Messiah into the world, Mary Noa Cohen is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding. When King Herod Anthony Hopkins orders a murderous hunt for her newborn baby, Mary and Joseph Ido Tako , go on the run — bound by faith and driven by courage — to save his life at all costs.
This introduced tension that aimed to make the film more accessible to a broader audience. Mary is now streaming on Netflix. Caruso has nothing but glowing things to say about his leading lady.

These images tell a moving story, as you can see in the photos throughout this article. The film was also shot in Morocco and the result is a captivating set of visuals that bring the story to life in a beautiful way.
Add in the music by Timothy Williams, and Mary is sure to transport you. Any of them could be the Messiah, or so Herod thinks. In reality, baby Jesus has slipped through his clutches.
