Storyline
In the 1st century, Jesus confronts the demon Balban to free Mary Magdalene. Two millennia later, the same evil infiltrates the Vatican through an acclaimed cardinal. Esperanza, a young woman plagued by supernatural stigmata, discovers she is the bearer of an ancient prophecy and the only one capable of intertwining her faith with Mary Magdalene's to stop the arrival of the Antichrist.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Esperanza Velásquez | Female 25 - 30 Years old |
Description She is a young woman carrying deep trauma who tries to live a 'normal' life in New York, working as a barista and going to nightclubs. As a teenager, she fell victim to a brutal demonic possession during which she was forced to murder her stepfather—a crime for which her mother, Magali, is serving time in a Mexican prison to protect her. Although she once wanted to be a nun, today she lives estranged from the Church, burdened by immense guilt and a crisis of faith. However, she is 'The Bearer,' a prophetic figure destined to harbor the sacred spirit of Mary Magdalene to confront the return of the demon Balban and stop the birth of the Antichrist. Her character arc spans from absolute terror and vulnerability to becoming an entity of divine power and forgiveness.echnical Requirements and Physical Challenges for the Actress: PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS This is a role with extremely high physical, emotional, and technical demands. The selected actress must be prepared to face the following challenges during filming:Special Effects Makeup (SFX Makeup):Scar Prosthetics: Must undergo extensive prosthetic makeup sessions to simulate keloid scars in the shape of inverted crosses covering her back and arms. Bleeding and Fluids: These scars open up and bleed profusely in several scenes. She will also be sprayed with fake blood acting as acid in a torture sequence. Body Makeup / Pregnancy: Will experience darkening veins across her abdomen (a combination of SFX/VFX) and the simulation of an advanced twin pregnancy for the final scene. Stunts & Wire-work:Levitation: Will suffer demonic attacks where her body becomes fully paralyzed and suspended in midair, requiring rigging and wire-work. Physical Torture: In the climax, the character is bound to an inverted cross (wrists strapped to the vertical shaft and legs spread across the crossbar), demanding stamina and excellent physical condition. Acting Range & Linguistic Demands:Aramaic Language: Must memorize and recite prayers and dialogue in ancient Aramaic. Divine Possession: In the third act, she will harbor the spirit of Mary Magdalene. The actress must radically shift her voice, posture, and energy, transitioning from human terror to radiating absolute divine grace and authority. Intimacy & Body Exposure Scenes:Requires filming in underwear and performing a passionate yet tender (simulated) physical intimacy scene with the character of Gabriel. Features moments of bare-back exposure (e.g., shower scene) to reveal her scars. Will work under professional intimacy coordination protocols at all times. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | María Magdalena | Female 28 - 35 Years old |
Description In the 1st-century timeline, she begins as an emaciated woman consumed by the possession of Balban (manifested through seven demons), a state in which she is forced to brutally murder her own father. After being freed by Jesus, she becomes his most perceptive follower; she is the only one capable of understanding the Messiah's human weight and fear, forging an unwavering faith that 'breaks time'. Her narrative arc is monumental: transitioning from a guilt-ridden victim to the absolute vessel of divine grace, projecting her spirit into the 21st century to possess Esperanza's body, confront a Demonic Jesus, and defeat evil through the most difficult weapon to wield: compassionate forgiveness. Technical Requirements and Physical Challenges for the Actress: 100% FLUENT IN ENGLISH, PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS Esperanza, this role demands an extreme level of physical and psychological commitment from the actress:Special Effects (SFX) & Gore Makeup:Initial Possession: Requires prosthetics to simulate a leprous appearance, extreme emaciation, and severely lacerated arms. Simulated Blood & Mutilation: Must perform expelling black blood and entrails from her mouth (biting a rat), as well as simulating pulling out and spitting out her own bloody teeth one by one. Burns: Will undergo skin incineration (combined SFX/VFX effect) when attacked by Demonic Jesus, causing her skin to burn as if doused in acid. Stunt & Combat Work:Physical Aggression: In her initial demonic state, she will be anchored to the ground with real or heavy prop chains, moving erratically and using these chains as weapons to strangle and crush another actor's skull. Impacts: Will be stabbed in the chest with a Roman sword (requiring stunt coordination and blood rigs) and violently thrown through the air onto a stone floor. Vocal & Linguistic Demands:Ancient Aramaic: A significant portion of her dialogue, prayers, and key scenes must be memorized and performed in ancient Aramaic. Demonic Voices: Must execute vocal ranges spanning from a 'cold, perverse, deep voice' to abysmal laughter and screams, which will be layered in post-production into a chorus of multiple voices (men, women, and children). Emotional Demands & Subtle Intimacy:The character must transition from absolute demonic aberration to radiating a luminous divinity (akin to the voice of God). Her relationship with Jesus holds a deep and devoted intimacy, culminating in a soft kiss on the lips, requiring precise and spiritual chemistry building with her co-star. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Jesús de Nazaret | Male 28 - 35 Years old |
Description Jesus (Slender build, long dark hair, and a full beard, with a commanding presence yet a serene gaze). In this story, he is not the traditional stoic Messiah; he is a deeply human leader, tormented by fear, the immense weight of humanity's sins, and the theological dilemma of eternal punishment in Hell. Throughout the 1st-century timeline, he battles the forces of the demon Balban, first exorcising Mary Magdalene and later facing the harrowing possession of his own mother, Mary, in whose womb grows the "Abomination" or the Antichrist. To save humanity and prevent the birth of the "Man of Sin," he makes an unthinkable decision: he swears to let God leave his own body, thus transforming into the sadistic "Demonic Jesus". His arc culminates when he is saved centuries later by the spirit of Magdalene (through Esperanza), proving that forgiveness and absolute love can redeem even the deepest darkness. Technical Requirements and Physical Challenges for the Actor: 100% FLUENT IN ENGLISH, PROFESSIONAL ACTOR This is a highly complex role that demands bringing the utmost spiritual purity to the screen, and later, the most absolute depravity. The actor will face the following challenges:Special Effects (SFX) & Gore Makeup:Demonic Jesus: Will require extensive hours of prosthetic makeup to display putrefying skin lacerated by lashes, oozing black blood, in addition to drooling viscous black saliva. Stigmata: Must simulate bleeding holes in his hands and feet, leaving trails of dark blood while walking. Extreme Gore: In disturbing scenes, he must act holding his own necrotic, pulsating heart, and in another sequence, he must force his fingers into a nun's mouth (Mother Francis) to rip out a crown of thorns from inside her throat. Stunt & Wire-work:Invisible Crucifixion: Will be violently suspended in midair using wire-work, with arms and legs tense as if crucified, while stigmata pierce his flesh. Supernatural Combat: In his demonic form, he will enact severe physical violence, including grabbing Magdalene by the throat and brutally throwing her through the air onto a stone floor. Vocal & Linguistic Demands:Aramaic Language: A significant portion of his prayers, greetings, and exorcism dialogue will require memorization and phonetic fluency in ancient Aramaic. Altered Voices: As Demonic Jesus, his vocal performance must adapt for post-production, delivering lines with an infernal, sinister, and sadistic tone. Emotional Demands (Extreme Duality):The actor must be capable of transitioning from a healing compassion that draws tears of devotion to suffering pure panic attacks and weeping in terror at the demon's atrocities. Immediately after, he must completely invert his psychology to embody the Demonic Jesus, displaying perverse pleasure and sweet smiles at the suffering and physical torture of his loved ones. | ||
