To date, the best cinematography, well produced, perfectly casted, adaptation of the Bible and life of Jesus that has ever come out! Both a must buy on dvd. I use to joke that it took a Portuguese Actor😉 (Diogo Morgado) to portray Jesus right, but that wouldn't be fair to Jim Caviezel's performance in The Passion of the Christ, who was terrific too.
According to Wikipedia, The Bible is a television miniseries based on the Bible. It was produced by Roma Downey and Mark Burnett and was broadcast weekly between March 3 and 31, 2013 on the History Channel. It has since been adapted for release to theaters as a feature film, the 2014 American epic biblical drama Son Of God.
Burnett, best known for producing prime-time hit reality shows (like Survivor), considers the scripted 10-hour series to be the "most important" project he has undertaken. The project was conceived by Burnett and Downey (From Touched By An Angel Series 1994-2003) after watching Cecil B. Demille's 1956 film The Ten Commandments for the first time since childhood.
The series is Mark Burnett's first scripted project. In addition to Burnett and Downey, executive producers include Richard Bedser and History's Dirk Hoogstra and Julian P. Hobbs. The first episode of the mini-series was seen by 13.1 million viewers, the largest cable television audience of 2013 to date. The second installment continued "to deliver blockbuster ratings" for the network, attracting 10.8 million viewers. The third installment on March 17, 2013, was once again the #1 show on all of Sunday night television with 10.9 million total viewers. The Bible has received more than 100 million cumulative views.
The series received three Emmy Award nominations for best miniseries, and sound editing and sound mixing on July 18, 2013.
