U.S. — A Biblical epic in development at Angel Studios will reportedly star American actor Jim Caviezel as every single character from the entire Bible.
"Ever since The Passion of the Christ, I've been typecast as Bible characters," said Caviezel, 56. "So I figured, why fight it? I'll just be all the Bible characters."
The film, directed by Alejandro Monteverde (Sound of Freedom, Zero A.D.), breaks new ground in the genre of Bible epics by being about the entire Bible and having one actor play all the parts.
"He plays Adam, he plays Moses, he plays both David and Goliath — but he plays all the women too," Monteverde said. "I tried a version of the movie with different actors, but every time I watched it, I kept thinking to myself, wow, this really needs more Jim Caviezel."
One scene in particular in which Jim Caviezel tempts Jim Caviezel in the wilderness is said to be especially riveting.
In preparation for his roles, Caviezel wore a series of funny wigs and did silly voices to make each of his characters unique. He also wore different costumes. "It was inspiring to watch a master at work," said Monteverde.
At publishing time, the studio announced The Bible: Starring Jim Caviezel would release in Summer 2027, with time added on to production to finalize special effects for a scene involving Jim Caviezel portraying a leviathan and another of him playing a six-winged seraphim.
