The Bible's most popular character Jesus will get his own miniseries
After the ratings for The Bible convinced producers that maybe this Christianity thing has legs, a new miniseries is already in the works based on its breakout character, Jesus. The Hollywood Reporter says that Brian Bird and Michael Landon Jr., son of earthly appointed angel Michael Landon, are readying their own Jesus Of Nazareth, a six-hour, $20 million show that will share with the world a story that it’s never heard before, unless you count millennia’s worth of gospels, church sermons, missions, the occasional crusade, and various videos hosted by Kirk Cameron. However, Landon says their version will be different in that is “made for the skeptic,” whose reluctance thus far to embrace Jesus as their savior won’t preclude them from giving a six-hour TV show about him a chance to change their mind, apparently.
