According to Deadline, Brad Pitt is considering starring in “Pontius Pilate,” a Biblical epic about the Roman prefect who infamously washed his hands of condemning Jesus Christ, and instead allowed the mob to make the decision for crucifixion. That’s how most of the gospels report it.
Vera Blasi wrote the script, which Warner Brothers is producing. Reportedly it details Pilates rise through the ranks of the Roman military, with his eye on the prize of a plum political job. Instead he gets sent to govern the province of Judea, which is a simmering mess of discontent with Roman rule and religious dissent. Mike Fleming at Deadline has read the script and he loves it.
