Anthony Hopkins is Pope Benedict XVI and Jonathan Pryce is Pope Francis in Netflix’s upcoming movie about the biggest shift the Catholic Church has had as an institution in a generation. The movie is directed by the Oscar-nominated Fernando Meirelles, who helmed movies like City of God and The Constant Gardner. In other words, this will probably be worth checking out regardless of your level of interest in the papacy.
The movie will see limited theatrical release to qualify for Academy Award attention, and then releases to Netflix in December.
