Garth Davis' biblical retelling will star Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus and Rooney Mara as Magdalene. Yaron will play Magdalene's sister-in-law, Sarah, according to Hollywood Reporter.
Helen Edmundson and Philippa Goslett wrote the script for Magdalene. See-Saw Films is producing the project, which they co-developed with Film4.
Universal Pictures International Productions is backing the film and domestic distribution is being handled by Weinstein.
The 25-year-old actress' breakout performance came in 2012's "Fill the Void", a starring role that earned her best actress honors at the Venice Film Festival.
