“So I was really moved by the understanding behind these guys, the disciples, and what was going on there to say, ‘Oh, that is plausible. I understand what would be going in the mind and everything like that,’” he added.
Scott explained that the filmmakers collected wisdom from theologians and pastors to gain context for depicting how the disciples would have reacted.
“So that was really interesting to me, character-wise. It really drew me in,” Scott said. “I’ll give away one little moment. There’s a moment when Judas is hanging there, and Peter sees him, and it’s that moment that, ‘This could be me equally up on this thing. I just denied him three times.’ But he decides to go the other way.”
Scott added, “I think all of us are on a thin line sometimes. We can go left or right, and what are we going to do? And that really moved me in this movie. It’s a different perspective, I think, and I think people will really enjoy that part. At least I did.”
Tomlin hopes that audiences’ “hearts will be pierced” and people will be “moved” after watching the film.
“My prayer and hope that when they walk out, they have just a renewed sense of what this is all about,” Tomlin said.
