The film is the third collaboration between NGC, Scott Free and Bill OReilly
Nat Geo Mundo presents a three-hour global television event Quién Mató a Jesús, produced by Scott Free Productions and based on the New York Times best-selling book by Bill OReilly and Martin Dugard, dives deep inside the historical story of how Jesus message and preachings led to his persecution and execution by a group of conspirators who saw him as a threat to their power.Quién Mató a Jesús, will premiere on Palm Sunday, March 29, at 9pm ET/PT on Nat Geo Mundo in the United States, globally in 171 countries in 45 languages and in English on National Geographic Channel. The film is the third collaboration between NGC, Scott Free and Bill OReilly, whose first two projects together, Emmy-nominated Killing Kennedy and Killing Lincoln are respectively the two most-watched programs in the networks history.Combining epic cinematography with intimate storytelling, Quién Mató a Jesús was shot entirely in the Moroccan desert with a crew of 250 and more than 4,500 extras. The 93 speaking roles are brought to life by an incredibly diverse cast, with actors representing Lebanon, Morocco, Czech Republic, Ireland, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, Syria, Australia and the United States. The massive production, unlike anything undertaken by National Geographic Channel before, puts familiar Biblical characters under a new lens to give them layers of meaning rarely explored before. Leading the cast are Kelsey Grammer (Partners, Boss) as King Herod the Great, the unrelenting and ambitious Roman-appointed King of Judea, who notoriously ordered the murder of all baby boys in Bethlehem, and Stephen Moyer (True Blood) as Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ordered Jesus crucifixion.
