Mark wasn't an eyewitness. There is a church tradition (not stated in Mark, of course - none of the Gospels state their sources) that he was a follower of Peter after Peter journeyed to Rome. If so, Peter would have been an eyewitness. Was Mark really associated with Peter? No one knows. I read a news magazine which described a scene in the movie in which Jesus is being led away by Temple guards and Mary Magdalene calls out to some nearby Roman soldiers for help. Nothing like that is in the New Testament, of course. And is highly improbable. If the movie has material in it that doesn't come from the Gospels, but from some nun's vision a century or few ago, that would bother me. Even more so if the movie claimed to be faithful to the scriptures.
