This is Scorsese's third faith-focused film, following 'The Last Temptation of Christ' and 'Kundun.' Nominated for an Oscar for its gorgeous cinematography, the 2016 drama is based on Shusaku Endo's 1966 novel. Soon, the priests face a most difficult question: Should they should refuse to recant their faith if doing so would end the torture of other Christians? Masterful director Martin Scorsese also co-wrote the screenplay and spent 25 years developing the 'passion project.' He raises thoughtful spiritual questions, challenging viewers and spreading the pain and blame in all directions. Once in Japan, the priests (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) are amazed to find entire Christian villages forced to worship in secret, afraid of being caught and killed. Still, the young priests insist on going to find their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) and disprove reports that he renounced his faith under torture by the Japanese. Two 17th century Portuguese Jesuit priests risk their lives by sneaking into Japan even though it has banned Christianity and is viciously rooting out converts. Released April 4 on DVD and Blu-ray April 11 on Redbox and May 2 on Netflix mail. Extras: an entire Blu-ray disc of bonus featurettes. The cast includes Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, Ben Mendelsohn and Donnie Yen. As long as they don't get lazy, Disney can milk this cash cow for decades. Nominated for two technical Oscars, the December release cost $200 million and grossed more than $1 billion. Welcome comic relief comes from Alan Tudyk as the voice of snarky droid K-2SO.
