What's still sitting on the shelf? What’s your pick?

I'll start (although I think Passion of the Christ 2 will touch on this): Themes associated with spiritual warfare, the Book of Revelation, angels vs. demons—there’s a ton of rich, untapped material in the Bible that hasn’t been fully explored on screen. The visuals alone....my goodness, and there’s so much depth in the themes of good vs. evil, prophecy, and cosmic conflict.
Yes TPOTC2 (and 3 if it is split which is highly likely) – will cover the fall of the angels, possibly the Nephilim, Christs resurrection and descent into hell, the Ascension into Heaven and Pentecost etc. Then will follow on with the lives and deaths of the apostles. I’m sure with much more in between + Revelation.
Though I agree there are many more biblical and historic events and stories that haven’t been given their due on the big screen – i.e. Elijah, Solomon, the prophets, Daniel etc + not to mention Constantine, Charlemagne, early church fathers and councils (i.e. Athanasios and St Nicholas were at the same council and both have great stories incl. battles with Arius), various battles and crusades etc.
