Inspired by The
Bible
Coming to Blu-ray, DVD &
DHD April 2nd
In 1994, Roma Downey charmed audiences as
Monica, the angel with a lot to learn, on CBS’s Touched by an
Angel, and now, she is producing and starring in The Bible.
Her husband, Mark Burnett, has made a name for himself as a
successful television producer. Here, we will examine this creative
duo’s career path and the different projects they are both involved
with.
From Executive Producers Mark Burnett (The
Voice, Survivor) and Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel) comes The
Bible — an epic 10-hour miniseries, coming to Blu-ray, DVD
and Digital HD April 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Breathtaking in scope and scale, THE BIBLE features powerful
performances, exotic locales and dazzling visual effects that breathe
spectacular life into the dramatic tales of faith and courage from
Genesis through Revelation.
ROMA DOWNEY
Touched by an Angel
Roma’s best-known role was in Touched by
an Angel. In the series that ran from 1994-2003 audiences got to
know Monica, Tess, and Andrew, a trio of angels sent to earth to tell
depressed and troubled people that God loves them and God hasn't
forgotten them.
The Division
Roma’s next notable role was in The
Division, in which she starred in three episodes as Reagan
Gilancy. The Division ran from 2001-2004 and followed five
female cops in San Francisco as they struggled with their personal
and professional lives.
Funky Monkey
Throughout her acting career Downey also
executive produced TV movies such as Breach of Trust, Second
Honeymoon and The Survivor’s Club. Downey’s last work as an
executive producer before The Bible was in 2004 when she
worked on Funky Monkey.
MARK BURNETT
Survivor
Burnett made his producing name with Survivor,
a reality show where a group of contestants are stranded in a remote
location with little more than the clothes on their back. The lone
survivor of this contest takes home a million dollars.
Are You Smarter than a 5th
Grader?
Burnett’s career as a producer ramped up
after 2007 when he began working on Are You Smarter Than a 5th
Grader? Burnett executive produced 70 episodes of the quiz show,
which ran until 2010 and featured adult contestants and questions
directly from the textbooks of first through fifth graders.
The Voice
In 2011-2012 Burnett executive produced 16
episodes of the series The Voice. In this show, four famous
musicians including Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera search for the
best voices in America and mentor these singers to become artists.
America decides which singer is worthy of the grand prize.
MARK BURNETT AND ROMA DOWNEY
The Bible
Downey and Burnett finally came together to
produce The Bible. This 10-hour, five-part, mini-series will
tell some of the best-known stories from one of the most popular book
in human history, from Noah's Ark and the Exodus to Daniel in the
Lion's Den to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. This will be
the first time they have produced together and the first time that
Burnett has produced a series in which Downey stars.
