"Nothing is static in nature, not even God." Netflix has debuted the full-length official trailer for the indie drama The Two Popes, not to be confused with the TV series "The New Pope" (or "The Young Pope"). This premiered at the Telluride & Toronto Film Festivals to effusive reviews from pretty much everyone. Behind the Vatican walls, the traditionalist Pope Benedict and the reformist future Pope Francis must find common ground to forge a new path for the Catholic Church. Jonathan Pryce plays the incoming Pope Francis, and Pope Benedict is played by Anthony Hopkins. Also starring Juan Minujín, Sidney Cole, Thomas D Williams, Federico Torre, and Pablo Trimarchi.

"You know the hardest thing is to listen..." Netflix has unveiled the first teaser trailer for the film The Two Popes, not to be confused with the TV series "The New Pope" (or "The Young Pope"). This is a fictionalized version of the story of the latest pope to leave before this latest one. Behind Vatican walls, the traditionalist Pope Benedict and the reformist future Pope Francis must find common ground to forge a new path for the Catholic Church. Jonathan Pryce plays Cardinal Bergoglio, who requested permission to retire in 2012 from Pope Benedict, played by Anthony Hopkins. Also starring Juan Minujín, Sidney Cole, Thomas D Williams, Federico Torre, and Pablo Trimarchi. This looks way better than I was expecting, but then again this is Fernando Meirelles and I've enjoyed pretty much every single film he has made so far. It's premiering at the Toronto Film Festival before landing on Netflix in December this year.
