Martin Scorsese immersed himself in Christianity for his upcoming project ‘The Saints,’ which we obviously can’t wait to see because it will surely surprise us more than we can imagine.
This will be in a documentary series format and will tell the story of eight men and women who, as the synopsis describes, “risked everything to embody humanity’s noblest and most complex trait: faith.”
Martin Scorsese chose Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, John the Baptist, Thomas Becket, Mary Magdalene, Moses the Black, Saint Sebastian, and Maximilian Kolbe.
What will Martin Scorsese’s “The Saints” be about?
The filmmaker explained “that these stories explore the lives of ‘eight very different men and women, each of them living in very different periods of history and struggling to follow the path of love revealed to them and us by the words of Jesus in the Gospels.'”
“I have lived with the stories of the saints for most of my life, thinking about their words and actions, imagining the worlds they inhabited, the decisions they faced, the examples they set,” Scorsese added.
When will Martin Scorsese’s “The Saints” premiere?
Fox News Media detailed in a statement that Martin Scorsese’s series will begin airing in November 2024 on Fox Nation.
Each of the eight episodes will last an hour and will be released in two parts: the first four episodes will come out on November 16, and the rest in May 2025.
In ‘The Saints,’ Scorsese “traverses over 2000 years of history from nearly every continent” and will examine “these extraordinary figures and their extreme acts of kindness, altruism, and sacrifice.”
