MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bruce Marchiano has a burning passion. Ever since his portrayal as the joyful, passionate Jesus in the film, The Gospel According to Matthew, where he captured the heart of Christ that is so often missing in Christian films, Marchiano has been compelled by something greater than himself to create another portrayal, this time using the book of John, to create a new film, Jesus...No Greater Love.

Jesus...No Greater Love will be a word for word, verse by verse film adaptation of the Gospel according to John. "The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. That's really our concept, that the gospel would go out in the power of the film medium, unaltered by any human script writer," Marchiano says.

Because the new Jesus movie will not be paying big name actors, Marchiano and his team feel they can produce a world class, state-of-the-art film incorporating the latest digital technology for just $45 million. The production will be shot on location in Jerusalem and shot digitally using CGI backgrounds and a green screen stage, providing unlimited potential for sharing the gospel for generations to come.

His experience as a hired actor observing the production in the Gospel According to Matthew, a for-profit project, convinced Marchiano that the new Jesus movie would have to be produced differently. "As I sat on the sideline, I saw this clash between business and ministry, and it seemed that ministry often lost. When I felt God's clear call to make a Jesus film that would truly capture the heart of his Son, one that would reach every culture and win souls around the world, I knew it would have to happen apart from the influence of profit seeking investors," states Marchiano.

Marchiano and his team are inviting Christians from all nations and all generations to join this movement to bring the gospel to all people. A movement made of 4.5 million Christians contributing a tax deductible donation of $10 each would fund the cost of the film.

Many have anticipated the launch of this movement and the grassroots buzz to become producers of the film indicates a growing excitement. The film makers must raise $45 million by March 2010 to begin production of the film in time to make the scheduled premier in 2011.
