Depicting the Virgin Mary
Director Catherine Hardwicke has been chosen to direct Nativity, a new film about Mary and Joseph before the birth of Christ.
Hardwicke was chosen because she could tell the story of Mary from a "strong female perspective".
The last film from a "strong female perspective" that Hardwicke directed was Thirteen. About an out of control teen-age thief and social misfit, living with an alcoholic single mother who has a drug-addict as a boyfriend.
Let us be the judges on this one!
