Broad Green Pictures has added Rodrigo García’s “Last Days in the Desert,” which stars Ewan McGregor as both Jesus and the Devil, to its 2016 film slate. The film, which co-stars Tye Sheridan (“Mud”), Ciarán Hinds (“Game of Thrones”) and Ayelet Zurer (“Man of Steel”), was produced by Bonnie Curtis (“Saving Private Ryan”) and Julie Lynn (“Albert Nobbs”) of Mockingbird Pictures and Wicks Walker (The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby”). “Last Days in the Desert,” which made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, follows Jesus in an imagined chapter from his 40 days of fasting and praying in.
