It's still in theatres although in limited release. The DVD should be out shortly. I recommend it because it relates the full-text of John --three or more hours without intermission.
The narration by Christopher Plummer, the rest by actors. Good prtoduction values, although I think tht a better director could have made some scenes less stagey.

Production values aside, how would you compare it to the "Jesus Film" done by the Genesis Project back in the 70s with Brian Deacon as Jesus? That was a literal telling of the Gospel of Luke. I can imagine the acting is better in "Gospel of John" (Hey, we are talking about Christopher "Captain von Trapp"/"General Chang" Plummer after all).

What worries me is that "Gospel of John" might come off like the overly Hollywood-ized "Jesus of Nazareth", or worse yet the 50s film "King of Kings". I can take underacting. Ham-fisted, soap-opera style overacting is worse.
