No Catholic scholors or theologians had anything to do with the movie. The protestant “experts” that helped them out with the mini-series and movie were Joel Osteen and Rick Warren and a few academics, probably left-wingers.

Downey and Burnett wanted to stay as true to the content in the Bible as possible so they put together a wide variety of pastors and academics to review the script and filming. For example, they worked with Pastors Joel Osteen and Rick Warren and academics such as Craig A. Evans and Mark Goodacre.[14]

As of March 25, 2013, The Bible series has been watched by over 80 million viewers during its first three installments.[15] The show has been the number one downloaded TV show in iTunes and ranked number 2 on Amazon’s best sellers in movies and TV.[15] The Bible will have a theatrical release containing “recut scenes and extra stuff” from the record breaking television event and could be released as early as this fall.[16] The Bible has been nominated for the 2013 Primetime Emmy Award, Outstanding Miniseries or Movie.
