Anthony Hopkins To Play King Herod Alongside Newcomer Noa Cohen In Biblical Thriller ‘Mary’


The under-the-radar film recently wrapped shoot in Morocco.

King Herod’s relentless drive to maintain power at any cost ignites the murderous pursuit of the newborn child that he believes is a threat to his reign on the throne. Timothy Michael Hayes ( BirdsEye) wrote the original screenplay after consulting with priests, bishops, baptist pastors, rabbis, LDS, and muslims along with biblical scholars and theologians. The crew includes recently Oscar-nominated hair and makeup artist Karen Hartley Thomas ( Golda), production designer James Merifield ( Mary Queen of Scots), costume designer Tina Kalivas ( The Man Who Fell to Earth), and director of photography Gavin Struthers ( The Witcher) and Adam Schindler as the team’s biblical scholar.
