Last May, after “Killers of the Flower Moon” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Martin Scorsese traveled to Rome with his wife, Helen Morris, to attend a conference titled “The Global Aesthetics of the Catholic Imagination.” There, the director announced that he had responded to an appeal by Pope Francis to artists “in the only way I know how: by imagining and writing a screenplay for a film about Jesus.”
The conference was organized by Jesuit publication “La Civiltà Cattolica.” It took place after the journal’s editor, Father Antonio Spadaro, held a series of one-on-one conversations with Scorsese that have just come out in Italy in a book published by La nave di Teseo titled “Dialoghi sulla fede” (“Dialogues on Faith”).
The final chapter of this book is titled, as translated from Italian, “Screenplay for a Possible Film on Jesus” by Scorsese. Spadaro, in the book’s introduction, specifies...

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.

Killers of the Flower Moon‘s corpse isn’t even cold––can I continue torturing this metaphor? it’s a holiday and I shouldn’t even be working––but Martin Scorsese has already announced plans, seemingly imminent, for a new film. A lifelong Catholic meeting with the Pope can have that sort of effect. So it seems from a conference at the Vatican wherein the director claimed he’s “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,” with the notable incentive that he’s “about to start making it.” About? For an artist concerned there’s no more time, everything’s present-tense. [Variety]
