VISUAL BIBLE INTERNATIONAL, INC. ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW               
CHAIRMAN, CFO AND ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBERS            

Toronto, Canada-Jake Eberts, a Montreal-born producer whose film            
production career includes the films Chariots of Fire, Gandhi,              
The Killing Fields, Driving Miss Daisy, Dances with Wolves, A               
River Runs Through It, and recently, Open Range and Two                     
Brothers, has been appointed non-executive Chairman of the Board            
of Directors of Visual Bible International, Inc. ("VBI"). The               
films Mr. Eberts has helped develop and finance have earned 64              
Oscar nominations and have received 27 Academy Awards.  In                  
addition to his appointment as Chairman, Maurice J. Colson, CEO             
of VBI, announced that Mr. Eberts will serve as executive                   
producer of the next three motion pictures expected to be                   
produced by VBI beginning with The Gospel of Mark, the                      
screenplay for which has been completed.                                    

"We are absolutely delighted to have someone of the caliber and             
with the international industry recognition of Jake Eberts as a             
part of what we expect to be a very exciting period of our                  
growth," Colson said, "Jake's willingness to join us is                     
certainly a vote of confidence in our future".                              

VBI is exclusively licensed by the American Bible Society to                
produce word-for-word film adaptations based on the Books of the            
Old and New Testaments. VBI released The Gospel of John in 2003             
to critical acclaim.                                                        

Garth H. Drabinsky, who produced The Gospel of John, will                   
continue his creative role as producer for the forthcoming                  
production of The Gospel of Mark, currently scheduled for                   
commencement of principal photography in the spring of 2005.                

Eberts said "The Gospel of John" and Mel Gibson's "The Passion              
of the Christ" each showed that there is an enormous market for             
the distribution of movies based on the Bible.  I was impressed             
with the artistic quality and integrity of VBI's production of              
The Gospel of John."                                                        

Colson further announced the appointment of Luc Perron as Chief             
Financial Officer. Perron formerly worked as                                
Vice-President-Finance for Oshawa Power and Utilities                       
Corporation, Vice-President, Finance and Administration for                 
software developer Syntell Inc., and Audit Manager at Ernst &               
Young.                                                                      

Colson also announced that as a result of management                        
appointments, the consulting arrangements between VBI and Garth             
H. Drabinsky and Myron I. Gottlieb will be concluded shortly.               
Colson acknowledged the significant contribution made by                    
Drabinsky and Gottlieb during their association with VBI.                   

Recent appointments to the Board of VBI are Paul Carroll and                
Marlene Hore. Carroll is President and CEO of Carnarvon Capitol             
Corporation, a Toronto-based investment management and venture              
capital company.  Hore is presently Creative Director at Wave, a            
Canadian advertising, public relations and research company, and            
was a founding partner of its predecessor, The Ongoing                      
Partnership. She is a former Vice-Chair and Executive Vice-                 
President, Creative Director at J. Walter Thompson and former               
Executive Creative Director at BCP Toronto. It is anticipated               
that further board appointments will be made.                               

Colson further added that VBI intends to pursue additional                  
equity financing which will be required by VBI in order to                  
undertake production and marketing of The Gospel of Mark.
