After successfully adapting the documentary novels "Killing Lincoln" and "Killing Kennedy" into biographical films, National Geographic Channel announced in March last year the adaptation of another best-selling documentary novel: "Killing Jesus". Nowadays, any program that has some connection with religion and the Bible is a hot topic on the television screen (it can be described as "burning hot"), and the decision of National Geographic Channel is reasonable. Killing Jesus "tells the story of the cause, process, and outcome of Jesus' crucifixion, which has been filmed countless times. When National Geographic Channel booked the project, the original novel had not yet been released (it was only released six months later), just like many TV programs adapted from novels last year, the producers obtained the adaptation rights in advance. The drama is broadcasted simultaneously in 45 languages in 171 countries worldwide. During the filming process, 250 crew members and 4500 extras (extras) were used, with up to 93 speaking characters. It is the largest project invested by National Geographic Channel to date. The story originates from the birth of Jesus, when King Herod was ruling over the Jews in Judea, but he always felt his power was threatened. Herod ordered the killing of all infants under the age of 2, but Jesus' family had already fled with him. 26 years later, Jesus' religious beliefs have been widely spread, and he has a large number of devout believers. At the same time, new political figures also feared the influence of Jesus, including Antipas, the son of Herod, and Pilate, the Roman appointed Jewish governor. The religious leaders in the Jewish temple, Caiaphas and Anas, also questioned the teachings and ideas spread by Jesus. Due to the betrayal of Apostle Judas, Jesus was ultimately arrested and crucified. His body was buried in an unguarded grave. When his followers came a few days later to apply ointment to his body, the whereabouts of the body were unknown. Where is the body of Jesus of Nazareth? This is still an eternal mystery.
