"ARE YOU READY FOR A BLACK JESUS MOVIE?" The world's most controversial, highly anticipated film, chronicles this weeks ongoing events in Religion.

Written and directed by lead actor Jean Claude LaMarre, starring Debbi Morgan (“Coach Carter”) as Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Ananda Lewis (“The Ananda Lewis Show”). “Color of the Cross,” an independent, biblically charged religious biopic, based on the last 48 hours of Christ’s life, stands to be the most controversial depiction of Jesus to date. The film is unique in two distinct ways: The first dramatic film in Hollywood history ever to depict Christ as a black man. Secondly, it is the first Christian based film to inject race as a possible factor in the Crucifixion of Christ. This racial perspective to the conventional biblical story is sure to challenge Conservative Christian beliefs. Nu-Lite Entertainment and 20th Century Fox will release the film theatrically in October 2006.
Note to the Editors- The film is a Nu-Lite Entertainment production, and producers are Rev. Cecil “Chip” Murray, Jessie Levostre, Kenneth Halsband, Executive Producers Lila Aviv, Paul Noe, Edy Lahens, Marc Porterfield, Michele Gonda and Co-producer Marcello Thedford.
