The story of Jesus' mother Mary is getting her own origin story in Netflix's new coming-of-age biblical epic Mary. Directed by DJ Caruso (I Am Number Four, Disturbia) and written by Timothy Michael Hayes, the film is set to hit the platform on December 6.

Starring Noa Cohen in the lead role as the titular character as Jesus' mother, the film also stars Ido Tako, Stephanie Nur, Susan Brown, Ori Pfeffer, Eamon Farren, Hilla Vidor, Mili Avital, Gudmundur Thorvaldsson, Dudley O’Shaughnessy, Keren Tzur, Mehmet Kurtulus, Mila Harris and Anthony Hopkins.

The new images show Mary's pursuit to protect her baby Joseph King Herod's (Anthony Hopkins) orders for the Massacre of the Innocents.

The official synopsis of the film reads, "Through Mary's eyes, this coming-of-age biblical epic tells the story of one of history’s most profound figures and the remarkable journey that led to the birth of Jesus. Chosen to bring the Messiah into the world, Mary (Noa Cohen) is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding. When King Herod (Anthony Hopkins) orders a murderous hunt for her newborn baby, Mary and Joseph (Ido Tako), go on the run – bound by faith and driven by courage – to save his life at all costs."

The film is produced by Roger Dorman and Amanda Cook, with Joel Osteen, Greg Friedman, Angela Staten, and Amory Leader serving as executive producers, among others.
