HOLLYWOOD---Based on
Shusako Endo’s 1966
novel,
Silence tells the story of a Portuguese Jesuit missionary who is persecuted along with other Christians in 17th-century Japan. Garfield portrays Father Rodrigues, pictured in an exclusive image with Shinya Tsukamoto, who plays a villager named Mokichi. Scorsese told reporters that he’d been trying to find a way to adapt this novel since he first read it more than 25 years ago, and that its themes resonated with him deeply. The film, due in 2016, also stars Adam Driver and Liam Neeson. [
