- ^ Edward N. McNulty Jesus Christ, Movie Star 2015 "Gospel of John (2014). With little fanfare, the Lumo Project released this second version of the fourth Gospel late in 2014 (to be followed by films of the other three Gospels in 2015). The director of the newest Jesus film is the noted TV producer David Batty. The text of John is read as the actors act out the story ... The cast looks more ethnic than in other Jesus films, with the portrayal of Christ by Shakespearan actor Selva Rasalingam."
