Did you know
• Madonna was originally going to play Mary but dropped out three weeks before the first rehearsal.
• Despite top billing, Christian Bale only turns up 41 minutes in.
• The crucifixion scene shows the nails driven, as tradition would have it, through the palms of Jesus' hands. It takes two taps of the hammer to drive the nail through his right palm and three taps to drive it through his left. Many now believe that in Roman crucifixions, nails were driven through the wrists.
