From Oldboy to Burning, South Korea has proven that it has no problem delivering a quality revenge tale. In series format, this isn't any different, and a new title is arriving to underscore that we want them to keep coming.

iBible is a screenlife project from Bekmambetov which, as the title suggests, tells biblical stories through the screen of a smartphone via the various apps we interact with on a daily basis. The audience will be able to scroll through two-minute episodes that dive into a famous story from the Book of Genesis: Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, Cain and Abel, David and Goliath, Ten Commandments, among others. This would be perfect Quibi fodder… if the mobile platform still existed.
