Please, yes…a Judas-was-a-good-guy-who-was-in-on-the-big-plan movie. That would be a movie. I’ll pay to see it twice, especially if Joaquin Phoenix plays Judas. And the story/background that the Guardian‘s John Patterson has sketched out is fascinating. One thing, though: there’s already been a Judas-was-a-good-guy-who-was-in-on-the-big-plan movie. It was called The Last Temptation of Christ, an exquisite 1988 film directed by this guy…wait a sec…here it is… Martin Scorsese .
