After the rapturous debut of “Killers of the Flower Moon” at the Cannes Film Festival a little over a week ago, Oscar-winner Martin Scorsese stuck around the region before flying back to his home in New York City. The 80-year-old director and his wife, Helen Morris, met Pope Francis in Rome. This time, though, Scorsese was just one of many artists, who had been invited to the Vatican.
This was part of a weekend called “The Global Aesthetics of the Catholic Imagination” held at the Villa Malta, headquarters of the Jesuit publication “La Civiltà Cattolica.” One attraction of the summit was when Scorsese sat with the journal’s editorial director Antonio Spadaro for a discussion, and it was here, in quite possibly the last place on Earth you’d expect “a scoop,” where arguably the greatest living film director dished about his next project.

Following the Cannes premiere of his film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Martin Scorses met with Pope Francis in Rome, which inspired the acclaimed director to announce plans to make a new feature film about Jesus Christ.
“I have responded to the Pope’s appeal to artists in the only way I know how: By imagining and writing a screenplay for a film about Jesus, and I’m about to start making it,” Scorsese told reporters at a Vatican press conference, according to The Guardian.
If he follows through on these plans, it would be Scorsese’s first film about Jesus since his famously controversial 1988 film “The Last Temptation of Christ,” which starred Willem Dafoe as the son of God as during his ministry and crucifixion, when he’s tempted with a vision of the life he could have had instead of dying for the world’s sins.

Francesca Scorsese, the 23-year-old daughter of the legendary filmmaker and his wife Helen Morris, will screen her directorial debut Fish Out of Water — a 25-minute drama about a young woman struggling to raise her child while harboring resentment towards her formerly abusive father and fear about her declining mother — at 10:30am on Wednesday as part of the fest’s Cannes Short Film Corner market. It will then have its official world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 11.
