Eli Roth developing History Channel series about a young, demon-fightin' Jesus
Having already tested the bounds of “history” with The Bible, to great success, the History Channel is considering revisiting that well with the sort of supernatural-based speculation for which it has long been known, ever since Hitler and aliens first conspired to add it to your cable package. Deadline reports that the network is finalizing deals for The Lost Years, a project that would cover the “lost years” of Jesus—the years mysteriously omitted from scripture, when Jesus was a young man just sort of bumming around, tent-surfing at his friends’ camps, and working a series of menial, directionless jobs, all while his father urged him to straighten up and die for the world’s sins already.
