Netflix is bringing the Vatican to you, no Popemobile needed.
Netflix is bringing the Vatican to you, no Popemobile needed.
The streaming giant has released the trailer for The Two Popes, director Fernando Meirelleswhich's witty two-hander about Pope Benedict XVI (played by Anthony Hopkins) -- who shocked the world when he resigned in 2013 -- and his successor, Pope Francis (Jonathan Pryce).
The preview begins with chit chat about the Beatles before exploring the duo's drastically differing ideologies -- while Benedict is very conservative, Francis is notably liberal. "You've been one of my harshest critics," Benedict tells his counterpart. "The way you live is a criticism. Your shoes are a criticism."
"You don't like my shoes?" Francis responds amiably.
Watch the trailer now:
The Two Popes premieres at the Telluride Film Festival in September and streams on Netflix on Nov. 27.
