The Hot Ones — Docs: Martin Scorsese’s ‘Saints’, Talking Pigs & Parisian Catacombs Prepare For MIPCOM


MIPCOM Hot Ones 2024: Martin Scorsese's 'Saints', 'If Pigs Could Talk' & 'Empire of the Dead' feature from Fox, Seven.One & Newen Connect.

The France Télévisions doc follows forensic ‘bone doctor’ Philippe Charlier and a team of international experts, who embark on a scientific journey with unprecedented access to the catacombs to show how the remains can provide new history to the world above. Eunuchs sees Theroux working with Playboy Bunny Murders co-producer Future Studios and John Farrar, its Chief Creative Officer, says: “There’s a real darkness and an undercurrent, but the way that we tackle it the show is not graphic in any way. Scorsese, who is self-financing a biblical epic called The Life of Jesus, narrates and exec-produces docudrama The Saints, which tells the stories of eight historical religious figures from Joan of Arc to Mary Magdalene to lesser-known influences such as Maximilian Kolbe.
