The web site for Bloodline, Bruce Burgess’ documentary investigation about the controversial assertion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, who subsequently fled to southern France with their child, has gone live, and it looks to be a pretty slick and smart affair, with talk of how it will peddle out “insider tips” and other info leading up to the movie’s May theatrical release. Expect the crazies to start coming out of the woodwork in about two weeks, I’d say.
The movie’s stained-glass poster, meanwhile, is a
simple, straightforward and… classy? No, that’s not the right word. Effective, let’s say that. It’s an effective and evocative selling of its controversial subject matter… even if Jesus isn’t really halfway up the line to first base. You want real shitstorm-style controversy, show him heading hard for second. The only strikes? I know you want to sell that it’s a theatrical release, but that can be done with a smaller type size on a solid black background. Oh, and the font on the bottom is all wrong — too straight-to-video.

It’s been done. I mean, I read THE DAVINCI CODE. Didn’t see the movie; heard it was boring. Unlike the book which is just, um, not good.
I’m not sure who wrote that description but it kinda sux. The Movie poster is subtle enough not to be provocative and yet subliminal. I would definitely like to see this movie, the trailer looks pretty great as well and the website has a ton of extra features, so I’d give it a chance. This is a documentary, not a story, so that level of realism is much more exciting than, ” The Da Vinci code” to me. More on the line of the original, ” Holy Blood, Holy Grail” book back in the 80’s.
The poster is an actual styained glass window form a church in France.
It’s anatomically impossibly for it to be Jesus’ hand on the right, touching Mary’s bosom. It’s obviously her own. Notice the sleeve on her other hand, holding Jesus’s hand, it fits the one touching her “2nd base”.
How could anyone assume otherwise amazes me.
