Seth Rogen to be Jesus?

On January 23rd, 2009

Alexandre Aja, best known for The Hills Have Eyes and Mirrors, is considering moving away from the genre and hopes to adapt Didier van Cauwelaert’s satirical novel The Gospel According to Jimmy.

“You have to imagine, a few years from now, the Republicans want to get back in the White House, and the only thing that they find is like an old cloning project… to clone Jesus from a blood cell on the Shroud of Turin,” he said, revealing details of the plot. “And one subject had survived, and he’s fixing pools in L.A., named Jimmy. And they’re going to find him and ask him to come back and help them to get back to power.”

As for the actor who would play Jesus: Aja thinks Seth Rogen would be perfect for the role. Unfortunately, the project is only being set up at the moment and writers are being sought to adapt the property, so you won’t be seeing it anytime soon.
