"Risen" is the resurrection story as seen through the eyes of an unbelieving Roman solider.
British actor Joseph Fiennes plays Clavius and he says that this film offers a unique perspective to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
"I loved the story of Clavius in terms of the notion of delivering a story that we all know so well - Christian and non-Christian but through the eyes of a non-believer," Fiennes said.
"I thought that the particular lens through the eyes of a Roman tribune who is there to... bring order along with Pontius Pilate to Judea and out of that he falls into the greatest murder mystery of all time," he continued.
"And then it really challenges his conditioning and in the end we see him in a place where he can never go back to Rome," he said.
