Woman taken in adultery in Gospel of John

I commented recently on the fact that The Passion of the Christ identifies Mary Magdalene with the woman taken in adultery (John 8.1-11) and so, for all the recent publicity attempting to rehabilitate Mary Magdalene, this film perpetrates an age-old identification. I have checked up The Gospel of John on this one and it is, indeed, two separate actresses who play these roles, Inga Cadranel the woman taken in adultery and Lynsey Baxter Mary Magdalene.
