Let Us Pray: Fox News Opens Interactive Cathedral to Boost Martin Scorsese’s ‘Saints’
variety.comBrian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Fox News Media wants to take some of its fans to church. To promote “The Saints,” a new eight-part documentary series executive produced by Martin Scorsese for the Fox Nation streaming outlet, the Fox Corp.-backed conservative media organization has opened an interactive kiosk outside its New York headquarters that looks like something akin to a medieval house of worship.
Inside, visitors can listen to the famed director via audio and take interactive “selfies” that use artificial intelligence to show people as if they were transformed into the historical figures spotlighted in the program.
Each episode focuses on a singular saint, including Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, John the Baptist, Thomas Becket, Mary Magdalene, Moses the Black, Sebastian and Maximillian Kolbe.
