Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce Are Pope Benedict and Francis in ‘The Two Popes’ Teaser (Video)

Netflix film from director Fernando Meirelles to make premiere at Telluride Film Festival

What do two men of God talk about behind closed doors? Would you have guessed The Beatles?

In the first teaser trailer for “The Two Popes,” Pope Benedict (Anthony Hopkins) asks the incoming Pope Francis (Jonathan Pryce) if he’s ever heard of the Fab Four, only to find that Benedict has no clue who “Eleanor Rigby” is.

“You know the hardest thing is to listen. To hear his voice. God’s voice,” Pope Benedict says in the trailer. “You know there’s a saying. God always corrects one Pope by presenting the world with another Pope. I’d like to see my correction.”
