Faced with difficult life choices in a harsh and unforgiving time, a young woman decides to follow a path that is strikingly different from what is expected of her. Rooney Mara stars in Mary Magdalene as a faithful woman who chooses to become a follower of Jesus Christ (Joaquin Phoenix).

As our exclusive trailer reveals, Jesus' message touched Mary's heart and prompted her to action. Her choices brought her into conflict with her family and also raised eyebrows among Jesus' other devout followers, including the apostle Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

Watch the trailer below; you can also see the premiere of the new poster for the stirring drama. Mary Magdalene will open in theaters nationwide on April 12. Sign up now for a FanAlert so you'll know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area.
