Hollywood sees how well Christian movies are accepted by the populace.
They would not dare make a Christian movie and praise God... so the solution is to make a movie portraying a story from the Bible. That will get people in the door. Now they have the canvas to spread their anti-God liberal crap under the veil of a “Christian” theme.
It’ll probably end up as the evangelical counterpart of “Last Temptation.” The bad movie nobody sees any more.
