Clavius and his aide Lucius (Tom Felton) are instructed by Pontius Pilate to ensure Jesus’ radical followers don’t steal his body and claim resurrection. When the body goes missing within days, Clavius sets out on a mission to locate the missing body in order to disprove the rumors of a risen Messiah and prevent an uprising in Jerusalem.

RISEN is produced by Mickey Liddell (The Grey), Patrick Aiello (As Above, So Below), and Pete Shilaimon (In Secret), and executive produced by Robert Huberman and Scott Holroyd.

The creative production team includes Director of Photography, Lorenzo Senatore; Visual Effects Supervisor, Rafa Solorzano; Production Designer, Stefano Maria Ortolani; Editor, Steven Mirkovich, ACE; Costume Designer, Onelio Millenotti; and music by Roque Banos.

Costner and Reynolds Re-teaming to LEARN ITALIAN

ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES: $390 million worldwide against a $48-million budget.  WATERWORLD: $264 million worldwide against a $175-million budget.  Both of these seem like hits to me.  Okay, maybe ROBIN HOOD was much, MUCH large, and the law of diminishing returns kept the two from working again.  There were also those reports of the two getting into massive fights on the set of WATERWORLD.  That could have been a big cause for the two to sever ties.

But, now, Variety is reporting Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds are re-teaming for LEARNING ITALIAN.  The film is set to shoot in Germany and is mostly riding on the wings of tax rebates and film subsidies.  Variety reports the film has already pulled in E1.1 ($1.5 million to us ignorant Americans who don’t understand the principals of currency conversion).

There is no word, yet, on what the film is about, just that it is a spy comedy, and Costner will star.  LEARNING ITALIAN will serve as the fourth collaboration between the two who began their friendship with 1985’s FANDANGO.  Neither have been Hollywood powerhouses for some time, and a re-teaming under a good script could be just the thing to bring them back into the fold.
