Only One Person Can Cast Out Satan & He’s So Much More Than A Film Maker
Judi McLeod / Canada Free Press
Almost a year after some 100 million cumulative views in the biggest selling TV on DVD in the past five years and the biggest miniseries of all time on DVD in its first week of release, featuring a Satan who had a passing resemblance to President Barack Obama, Roma Downey and Mark Burnett decided to leave the lookalike character out of their upcoming movie, Son of God, based on The Bible miniseries.

“Downey met with the president and first lady at the White House on Monday. She said the Obama’s were thankful that the show has “engaged the country in a conversation about the Bible”. (AP, March 19, 2013)
“The actress, who plays Mary the mother of the adult Jesus, in the miniseries, said she was upset that some people claimed the actor who played Satan looked like the president. She dismissed that as “nonsense” and a distraction.
