Why has the bible not been turned into a movie?
Popular novels are being transformed into visual masterpieces on the big screen. Virtuoso directors have taken such masterpieces as “The lord of the rings”, “Harry Potter” and my personal favorite “About a boy” removed the words from the novels and metamorphosed them into collages of images that we adore in the theatre today. How is it that the bible, the greatest “best seller” in the history of time has yet to be made into a movie.
A few directors have ventured to turn some of the more popular stories into film, like the movie about Moses and the story of Jesus. No director however has taken the whole book in its grand form and transformed it into an epic story. This I find quite disturbing. The bible is a great book. From start to finish it is a great read. The parables, the miracles, the killings and scarifies make for great entertainment to any audience.
I mean if a movie about a 10-year-old boy doing magic can gross over 10 million dollars in the theatre. A movie about the ultimate being creating the world we live in today could gross an infinite amount. Heck, I am sure he would even endorse it if you asked him nicely enough, I mean just pray. It is clear that this immaculate movie needs to be created; the question is who is divine enough to do it?

Interesting idea, but the bible isn't really a book so much as a "library" of books. It's actually a relatively minor affair to bind the bible in one big volume--not that it did not happen before, but people more often had the bible in gospels, psalms, and other bindings of the books.
