Actress Roma Downey is calling her new movie Son of God an “epic, sweeping” reminder to the world of God’s love.

Downey and her husband, revolutionary Hollywood producer Mark Burnett, have produced the Bible epic scheduled to be released in theaters on February 28^th.

“We hope the audiences leave theatres feeling they know Jesus more and also they are reminded of how deeply he loved us,” Downey said.  “This is a big, epic sweeping film.  An exciting movie and sometimes a tense movie with intense drama and real danger.”

Downey and Burnett shocked Hollywood observers with their miniseries “The Bible” which had 13.1 million viewers for its premiere.  The sequel to “The Bible,” titled “A.D.” and will follow the events immediately after Jesus’ ascension, has been given the green light by NBC.

Downey and Burnett credit their Hollywood success for opening doors to produce movies about their faith.

“It all comes back to people in the industry realizing that we know what we’re doing and allowing us to make this show and now our movie about our faith,” Burnett said.
