It is a family adventure story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Pope Francis will play a pope in <em>Beyond the Sun<\/em>.<\/strong> And it is the first instance in the history of Roman Catholic Church. Being produced by AMBI Pictures, the film is a family adventure story based on the Gospels, the holy teachings of Jesus Christ in several tales.The story of the movie is plotted around the children from diverse ethnicities, who follow the apostles during their quest for Christ in the world around them. The apostles are twelve chief disciples of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogbox.ieagle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Beyond-the-Sun-is-Pope-Francis\u2019s-Acting-Debut-in-Hollywood.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-443\" src=\"http:\/\/blogbox.ieagle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Beyond-the-Sun-is-Pope-Francis\u2019s-Acting-Debut-in-Hollywood.jpg\" alt=\"Pope Francis, Gospels of Christ, Hollywood film, Beyond the Sun film\" width=\"1200\" height=\"753\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is more surprising is that the Hollywood film <strong><em>Beyond the Sun<\/em> is an idea from Pope Francis himself.<\/strong> He approached the AMBI Pictures and proposed them to make a film that can convey Jesus Christ\u2019s gospels to young children in an effective fashion. It is not the sole purpose of making <em>Beyond the Sun<\/em> starring Pope Francis. The producers have another purpose and that is to donate all profits from the film to Los Hogares de Cristoand El Almendro, two Argentinean charities aiding children and young adults in need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A number of Hollywood films like <em>The Godfather III, Angels and Demons<\/em>, and <em>Pope Joan<\/em> have convincingly portrayed papal characters. However, <strong><em>Beyond the Sun<\/em> is the first celluloid project in Hollywood to cast a real pope for a greater purpose.<\/strong> It is expected to be an enlightening entertainment with an altogether different approach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWorking with Pope Francis in <em>Beyond the Sun<\/em> is the best that could happen in my career. I am simply overwhelmed!\u201d expressed Andrea Iervolino, cofounder of the AMBI Pictures. \u201cThis is not just a movie for us; it\u2019s a milestone. Who is better than Pope Francis himself to deliver biblical and spiritual messages?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Vatican authorities confirmed casting of Pope Francis in Hollywood film <em>Beyond the Sun<\/em>. <strong>However, Monsignor Dario Edoardo Vigann of the Vatican dismissed it as a rumor in his statement, \u201cThe Pope is not an actor. But the film may show some video clips featuring him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Let\u2019s cross our fingers and wait to see Pope Francis in <em>Beyond the Sun<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is it if the prime minister or president of a country acts in a feature film?
