XL: The Temptation of Christ
FaithWorks Pictures, March 6, 2019
“This is not a Hollywood film”—so the independent filmmakers behind “40: The Temptation of Christ” announce on their website, likely looking to bait Christians turned off by major studios’ mucking up screen depictions of biblical narratives (“Noah,” for example).
If the title of the film doesn’t clue you in, “XL: The Temptation of Christ” focuses on the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ experience in the desert where he fasted for 40 days and nights and faced off with Satan after being baptized. Based on the trailer, the majority of the film appears to be exactly about that wilderness experience, although there is a shot of Christ being nailed to the cross near the end of the trailer. Actor Sean (Shayan) Ardalan stars as Jesus, while Sabastian Neudeck portrays Lucifer. Learn more
