Scorsese film sparks Christian backlash over Christ portrayal
Universal Pictures hires Christian marketing consultant Tim Penland to ward off controversy for The Last Temptation of Christ. The film stars Willem Dafoe as Jesus and is based on Nikos Kazantzakis work condemned as heresy. Christian leaders warn of protests if Jesus appears as a lustful or weak figure, while Universal awaits pre-release screenings to gauge reaction.
