Premiering on March 3, 2013 on History, the mini-series The Bible features a soundtrack composed and produced by Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe. The score to the 10-hour five-part docudrama will be available on March 5th and features vocal performances by Lisa Gerrard. Zimmer and Gerrard’s last collaboration was the 2000 score to the dramatic film Gladiator. That soundtrack earned a Golden Globe as well as Academy Award and BAFTA nominations.
Keith David narrates the mini-series that stars Diogo Morgado (as Jesus), Sean Teale, David Rintoul, Amber Rose Revah, Peter Guinness, Greg Hicks, and Simon Kunz.
“The Bible is a sacred text that continues to challenge and inspire,” said executive producer Mark Burnett. “We’ve been working on this project for the past two years and are deeply humbled to be given this once-in-a-generation opportunity to breathe new visual life into The Bible’s profound stories. The Bible gives meaning and purpose to billions of people around the world, and sparks the curiosity of millions more.”
“HISTORY has a legacy of delving into important subjects to which all people are connected,” added Nancy Dubuc, President, Entertainment, and Media for A+E Networks. “There’s no question The Bible is one of the world’s most significant and most popular books, which holds within it the incredible and powerful stories that truly changed the course of history and religion the world about. We are thrilled to work with Mark and Roma [Downey], who have vividly brought The Bible to life for a new generation, and we hope the series will resonate for generations to come.”
