The pontiff is set to guest appear in an upcoming spiritual film titled “Beyond the Sun,” making him the first pope to appear as himself in a feature film.
According to a press release by Rome-based distribution and production company AMBI via reuters, the movie has been described as a “family adventure story where children from different cultures emulate the apostles while searching for Jesus in the world around them.”
According to AMBI’s website, the film will only feature “an epilogue from Pope Francis telling children how and where to find Jesus.”
Also a Vatican spokesman who spoke to Time Magazine on Monday, clarified the role of the pope in the movie as he was quoted saying “the Pope is not an actor.
