Los Angeles: "Harry Potter" fame actor Tom Felton will star opposite Joseph Fiennes in director Kevin Reynolds' "Clavius", a biblical tale.

While Fiennes will take on the lead role, it is as yet unclear who Felton will play, reports contactmusic.com.

The movie sees Fiennes play the titular Roman centurion who is ordered by Pontius Pilate to investigate rumours Jesus has risen from the dead and to track down his allegedly missing body.

As he investigates, Clavius' doubts about the happenings begin to waver when he meets with Jesus' apostles and other people in Jerusalem.

The film is expected to come out around Easter 2015.
