Pope Joan - the Original Trailer (in English)

There are several dubbed-into-German versions of this Pope Joan trailer circulating on YouTube, some with very bad subtitles. This dubbed version was for German audiences only. In fact, the movie is in English (as the presence of John Goodman, David Wenham, and Iain Glen proves.) So here's the REAL version of the Pope Joan movie trailer, as originally filmed.

(Note: It's impossible to duplicate the fine quality of the film here, so it looks a bit fuzzy. But it's enough to give you a "sense of the film" and the fine acting, direction, and cinematography involved. I'm the author of the novel upon which the film is based, and I love this movie--and how often do you hear an author say that?)

Pope Joan is her name. The Vatican made sure that any records of her were erased, too. Apparently, having a female pope is more damaging to the Vatican's reputation than their priests molesting children.

I was just telling a friend of mine today that she should read Pope Joan. I look it up on the internet and was so surprised to see that there is a movie. I had no idea. Now I am dying to see it. One of the best books EVER!!

The Bible is a novel too. Another ignorant catholic. Imagine that!

if you watched the Borgias at all, that seat that Pope Alexander Sextus sat in with the hole in the middle while they reached under to feel his testicles....tells you that they were checking to make sure the Pope was a man. look it up. the very extent that the church has gone to .to eliminate all references to her...testifies to her existence. 

[Tommie Hamilton]

if you think they would not oppose her existence to such an effort. please remember that mary magdalen was made a prostitute a whore by a pope five hundred years later and all the female followers of jesus were reduced to groupies, when they too preached and stood at the foot of the cross, when no male apostle cept john stayed.

[Tommie Hamilton]

this is true. it actually happened. the street where she died in rome is there for all to see.

A friend of mine told me about this movie and the book. I was able to watch the movie on cable....fast forwarding through the commercials....then started reading the book.After getting a visual reference from the movie, I whipped through the book and enjoyed it immensely!!!!

I also bought the movie, but it came from Thailand (or thereabouts). Unfortunately I can't watch it on my dvd or computer due to the different formatting.

you should read the book Papissa Ioanna of Emmanuel Roides. It is one of the best books one should read. I think there is a very good translation in english, Emmanuel Roides is greek and the book is in greek too. Πάπισσα Ιωάννα of Εμμανουήλ Ροίδης. hope you like it,

P.S.- The book is fantastic, u should definitely read her before watching the movie! :)
