Biblical accuracy

New Line is taking great pains to create a film in the tradition of The Passion of the Christ which Christian families will be able to enjoy. Mike Rich, screenwriter of The Rookie and The Nativity Story has drawn heavily from the four gospels. A number of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish theologians have also been consulted. When Rich first told his pastor about the project he was undertaking, Rich said the pastor responded by saying "that's a project!" and then immediately put him on the church's prayer chain Behind the Scenes Featurette 1 (web video).
