Tom Felton, Joseph Fiennes in “Risen” biblical epic trailer

PanARMENIAN.Net - Harry Potter's Tom Felton and Joseph Fiennes are at the centre of one of modern religion's great mysteries in the trailer for Risen, Digital Spy reports.

The biblical epic tells the story of the confusion, wonderment and suspicion in the first 40 days following the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Fiennes and Felton play Roman centurions who are compelled to discover the truth when Christ's body disappears from its burial tomb.

The religious thriller features many notable characters from the New Testament in its dramatisation of the resurrection.

Spooks star Peter Firth portrays their overlord Pontius Pilate, while Argentine actress María Botto (My Life in Ruins) is cast as Mary Magdalene.

Tristan + Isolde director Kevin Reynolds brings writers Paul Aiello (The Translator) and Karen Janszen's (A Walk to Remember) screenplay to life in Risen.

The film will be released on January 22, 2016 in the US.
