Rooney Mara as Mary MagdaleneNC

Known as a prostitute throughout history, what is the true story of Mary Magdalene?

Yet where her namesake is held up as the ideal of virginal perfection as the mother of Christ, Mary Magdalene has become known as a prostitute, a lust object and even as the hidden wife of Jesus.

But now a new film starring Rooney Mara as Magdalene and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus might redress the balance – and help clear the name of one of the most misrepresented figures in history.

“The more I got into it and the more I learned about who Mary really was, the more shocked I was that most people know her to be a prostitute,” says Mara.

“All these men who are in this story have churches around the world in their name yet she is known as the whore. It made me kind of angry actually.”

According to the widely disseminated view, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute “saved” by Jesus after she gatecrashes a party he was at, washes his feet with her tears, anoints them with perfume and then dries them with her hair.

The problem is: there is no reference anywhere in the Bible to Mary Magdalene ever being a prostitute, reformed or otherwise.

There is not even a reference to her being a sinner.

The foot-washing incident, as mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, is ascribed by the author to an unnamed “woman of that town who had lived a sinful life”.

In fact the only suggestions that there is anything less than wholly virtuous about Mary Magdalene at all are references in the Gospels of Luke and Mark to Jesus ridding her of “seven demons” – and many scholars believe the latter wasn’t even in the original text but added sometime in the second century.

But from that single verse have come centuries of character assassination.

From medieval and Renaissance paintings of her as a doe-eyed, semi-naked seductress, to the sexy sinner in films such as 1988’s The Last Temptation Of Christ or 2004’s The Passion Of The Christ, Mary Magdalene has become ingrained in popular culture as the archetypal fallen woman.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Jesus Christ Superstar had the character of Mary singing “I’ve had so many men before, in very many ways”, and in the best-selling Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown even put forward the theory that Mary Magdalene and Jesus had married and had a child together.

Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara as Jesus and Mary Magdalene

When she met Jesus it simply says he tore out her demons. But it’s never said that she’s a prostitute.

Professor Suzanne Frey-Kupper

The facts, as described by the nearest thing to a definitive text we have about her – the Bible itself – are somewhat different.

“Mary Magdalene is an absolutely fascinating figure,” says Professor Suzanne Frey-Kupper, a specialist in classics and ancient history and researcher of Christian depictions in art at the University of Warwick.

“In the Gospels she’s not described as a prostitute. When she met Jesus it simply says he tore out her demons. But it’s never said that she’s a prostitute. That’s something that came up in the Middle Ages.

“What’s really important about her is that she was with Jesus at the cross. She is also the one who discovers his empty tomb and after his resurrection she was the first person to see him – that makes her very important. That puts her right at the centre of the Gospels.”

So how did this “centrally important” figure come to be recast so dramatically? The fault lies with Pope Gregory I, who in 591 forever linked Mary Magdalene with the sinful “woman of that town” described by St Luke.

“What did these seven devils signify, if not all the vices?” he wrote. “It is clear that the woman previously used the unguent to perfume her flesh in forbidden acts. What she therefore displayed more scandalously, she was now offering to God in a more praiseworthy manner.”

The idea was later seized upon by medieval and Renaissance artists. She became the most commonly depicted female figure in art after the Virgin Mary and was often shown as an object inspiring desire, rather than reverence.

Frequently painted semi-naked, when she does wear clothes they are usually red – traditionally symbolic of loose morals – and her hair is long and fl owing, sometimes to tantalisingly hide what her lack of clothes has left bare.

Renaissance artists captured Mary Magdalene as an object of desire

According to the standards of the time, long hair was worn loose in public only by prostitutes, the other women of the New Testament are shown with their hair hidden beneath scarfs or headdresses.

Painted weeping at Christ’s crucifixion, or meeting him at his resurrection, she still carries a perfume jar as her signifier.

Even her name was twisted against her. In the Bible she is referred to as Mary “the Magdalene”, meaning she came from Magdala, a town on the western shore of the sea of Galilee.

But later scholars decided that it probably meant something else altogether.

The Church were keen to portray Mary Magdalene as a fallen woman because they focused on penitence

According to the 17th century theologian John Lightfoot: “Whence she was called Magdalene, doth not so plainly appear; whether from Magdala, a town on the lake of Gennesaret, or from the word which signifies a plaiting or curling of the hair, a thing usual with harlots.”

According to Professor Frey-Kupper, an important reason why the Church was so keen to portray Mary Magdalene as a fallen woman was because: “In the Middle Ages the Church became very focused on penitence and conversion – which opens the way for reconciliation with God.

“And this idea of the importance of conversion led to the idea of her being a reformed prostitute. For the Church it was all about morals. It was in its interests to use her as an example of repenting and the importance of staying virtuous.”

She also points out that Pope Gregory’s proclamation of Magdalene as a prostitute rather conveniently confuses her with another Mary.

“She has been merged with the ‘sinful’ woman described anointing Jesus’s feet and drying them with her hair,” she says.

“Although that woman remains anonymous in Luke’s Gospel, in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and John she is named as Mary of Bethany.”

In Rooney Mara’s film, called simply Mary Magdalene, she is depicted not as a sex symbol, seductress or harlot, but simply as she is in the Bible, a morally driven woman at the very heart of Christ’s story.

It is a Mary Magdalene that the director Garth Davis has described as being “hidden away for 2,000 years”.

And if it was principally the influence of art that helped shape the false image of Mary Magdalene, Professor Frey-Kupper believes that it may yet be art that redeems her.

“The real Mary Magdalene is simply not very well known, we still think of her as a prostitute because that’s how she has always been pictured,” she says. “Art is very strong and very influential and so that’s how we think of her.”

Two thousand years after her first mention it seems it’s time to set the record straight.

Rooney Mara and her best friend Jesus are about to hit theaters together in Mary Magdalene, a new film from Lion director Garth Davis. Mara plays the Biblical heroine who committed her life to following Jesus Christ, played here by Mara’s real-life boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix. The first Mary Magdalene trailer has just arrived to give us a taste of the holy drama to come.

Mary Magdalene is one of the most well-known figures in the New Testament, primarily due to her many portrayals in pop culture. As one of the few frequently-mentioned female followers of Jesus, she tends to stand out, so much so that scholars (and storytellers) have long hypothesized that she might have even been the wife of the historical Jesus. (The Da Vinci Code builds an entire story around this concept.) While Mary Magdalene has appeared in films before – notably in The Last Temptation of Christ, where she was played by Barbara Hershey and The Passion of the Christ, where Monica Bellucci took on the role – she’s always been a supporting player. In Garth Davis’ Mary Magdalene, however, Mary has a chance to step into the spotlight. The first Mary Magdalene trailer tells the tale below.

I’ll be blunt: this trailer is not very good. Visually, Mary Magdalene looks striking, but the way this trailer is pieced together gives one pause. The music feels completely wrong, and I can’t get a feel for what type of story it’s trying to tell. Is this intended to be a devoutly Christian film a la God’s Not Dead, or is it more of a historical drama using Biblical figures? On top of this, there’s the issue of casting. While Mara is a phenomenal actress, one can’t help but notice the whitewashing at play here in regards to the historical Middle Eastern and Jewish backgrounds of the figure she’s playing. I can hear the thinkpieces being written as I type this.

Here’s the official Mary Magdalene synopsis:

Set in the Holy Land in the first century C.E., a young woman leaves her small fishing village and traditional family behind to join a radical new social movement. At its head is a charismatic leader, Jesus of Nazareth, who promises that the world is changing. Mary is searching for a new way of living, and an authenticity that is denied her by the rigid hierarchies of the day. As the notoriety of the group spread and more are drawn to follow Jesus’ inspirational message, Mary’s spiritual journey places her at the heart of a story that will lead to the capital city of Jerusalem, where she must confront the reality of Jesus’ destiny and her own place within it.

Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix, and  Chiwetel Ejiofor, opens March 16, 2018 in the UK, and March 30, 2018 in the United States.

Rooney Mara is about to find Jesus in Mary Magdalene, a new film from Lion director Garth Davis. Mara will play the New Testament figure Mary Magdalene, while her real-life boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix will be playing Mr. Jesus Christ himself. In a Mary Magdalene movie first look, we have the first official image of Mara in character.

Joaquin Phoenix will be bringing his exceptional acting skills to the role of the Son of God in Mary Magdalene, appearing alongside Rooney Mara, who’s playing the biblical heroine and frequently mentioned companion to Christ. Mary Magdalene has been in production since 2016, and earlier this year, some set photos of Mara taking a cigarette break beneath a crucified Phoenix went viral. Now, we have our first official, cigarette-free look at Mara in character. Gaze upon her holy visage below.

In the Bible, Mary Magdalene is one of the few female followers of Jesus to actually be mentioned by name, and be mentioned frequently. The text also has her present for both Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Mary Magdalene’s presence in the New Testament has inspired many interpretations, including the popular theory that she was perhaps the wife of the historical Jesus (even though there’s no real evidence for this). Whether or not Mary Magdalene will touch on this concept remains to be seen. Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in the Holy Land in the first century C.E., a young woman leaves her small fishing village and traditional family behind to join a radical new social movement. At its head is a charismatic leader, Jesus of Nazareth, who promises that the world is changing. Mary is searching for a new way of living, and an authenticity that is denied her by the rigid hierarchies of the day. As the notoriety of the group spread and more are drawn to follow Jesus’ inspirational message, Mary’s spiritual journey places her at the heart of a story that will lead to the capital city of Jerusalem, where she must confront the reality of Jesus’ destiny and her own place within it.

Mary Magdalene was originally set to be distributed by The Weinstein Company, but as TWC is all but sunk now following the multiple sexual assault allegations against co-founder Harvey Weinstein, Sony Pictures will now be handling the film in the U.S. Earlier today, the Film4 Insider Twitter account, a part of the UK broadcaster Channel 4, hinted that we might get the first official trailer for Mary Magdalene on Wednesday. That tweet has since been deleted. Make of that what you will.

This sounds like a potentially interesting project, and Phoenix and Mara are both excellent actors who will no doubt bring a lot to their respective roles. That said, one can’t help but notice that their casting is a bit of whitewashing in regards to the historical Middle Eastern and Jewish backgrounds of figures they’re playing. No doubt this will raise an eyebrow or two.

Mary Magdalene will open March 30, 2018.

1. Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix are currently working on a biopic about Mary Magdalene called, uh, Mary Magdalene. Information about the project is scarce, but we can probably assume the character list also includes Jesus of Nazareth (later known as Jesus Christ).

The movie is scheduled for release in November, and also features Chiwetel Ejiofor playing Peter.

2. One of the main reasons we can assume Jesus is in the film is because of this incredible photo, taken on set in 2016. It shows Rooney having a drag while Joaquin (as Jesus) is crucified.

4. If you Google there’s a bunch of photos from the set. Jesus smokes too! But putting those photos here would cost money. So enjoy this pic just one last time.
