Moving on from the awesomeness that will be the G.I. Joe movie, Marlon Wayans has signed on to star and produce The Year of Living Biblically for Paramount Pictures and Plan B.

Adapted from A.J. Jacob’s nonfiction book, the film will have Wayans spend a year attempting to live by the rules of the Old and New Testaments, with comic and enlightening results.

Jay Reiss is adapting the book into a film narrative. Julian Farino (Entourage) is attached to direct.
