Here’s your first look at LAST DAY IN THE DESERT, written and directed by Rodrigo Garcia (ALBERT NOBBS, MOTHER AND CHILD).

Ewan McGregor is Jesus — and the Devil — in an imagined chapter from his forty days of fasting and praying in the desert. On his way out of the wilderness, Jesus struggles with the Devil over the fate of a family in crisis, setting for himself a dramatic test.

LAST DAY IN THE DESERT also stars Tye Sheridan, Ciarán Hinds, and Ayelet Zurer. The film’s cinematographer is Oscar winner Emmanuel Lubezki (GRAVITY).

LAST DAY IN THE DESERT will have its World Premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, Sunday, January 25th at 6:30pm at the Eccles Theater in Park City. McGregor also has another film premiering that same weekend – Lionsgate’s MORTDECAI, co-starring Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow, which opens on January 23, 2015.
