In tribute of the 35th anniversary of, JESUS, the most viewed film in history; it has now been re-mastered in HD including a brand new musical score in Dolby 5.1 surround sound.

Amongst the new biblical films debuting this spring, the legendary film will be re-titled, "The Jesus Film." Beginning in March, the film will be shown in select theaters across America. In addition, joining with Cinedigm and Mission Home Video, the HD movie version will be presented on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital format in stores and online nationally on April 1.

"The Jesus Film" is an authentic portrayal of Christ's birth, ministry, death and resurrection as revealed in the scriptural account from the Gospel of Luke. Nearly every word Jesus speaks in "The Jesus Film" is quoted from Holy Bible, with 450 experts and researchers having studied the script for biblical accurateness. Additional historical precision was certified by using clothing, pottery, and other props made with first-century techniques to portray a 2,000-year-old Palestinian culture.

"When the original ' Jesus' film was released 35 years ago, it was ahead of its time," said the Executive Director of The Jesus Film Project Dr. Erick Schenkel in the press release. "Yet, while the film has introduced billions of individuals around the world to the person of Jesus, few in the U.S. have ever seen it. We believe this new re-mastered version will give audiences an accurate picture of who Jesus is and why individuals around the world have chosen to follow Him, shown with production values they have come to expect."

The Jesus Film has been officially acknowledged by The Guinness Book of World Records as the "Most Translated Film" in history, and is currently available in 1,197 languages.

Furthermore, the story of the film's influence over the past 35 years will be presented through a special new short feature narrated by Ghostbusters star, Ernie Hudson. It will be featured on the re-mastered Blu-ray and DVD. Every disc contains The JESUS Film translated into eight different languages: English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, Korean, Vietnamese, German, and Arabic.

"Unlike other religious films, which contain graphic violence or do not adhere to Scripture, 'The Jesus Film' script is taken directly from the Bible and shown in a cinematic style suitable for all ages," said Schenkel in the press release. "The new greatly enhanced video and sound quality elevates the emotional viewing experience of this 35-year-old film to a new level, making it fresh and appealing to a generation that may not be aware of who Jesus is."
