Fox has put in development Nazareth, an event series written/executive produced by David Franzoni (Gladiator) and executive produced by Bob Cooper. Nazareth is the first project under an overall deal for event series that Fox has signed with Cooper’s Landscape Entertainment. It follows the formative years of Jesus of Nazareth. There had been a lot of interest recently in Jesus’ so called “lost years,” a lesser known period in his life because there is very little written about him from the age of 13, following a pilgrimage to Jerusalem he took with his parents, to age 30, when he began his ministry and was baptized by John the Baptist.

Seriously? Bah! I guess my tolerance level has been reduced to nothing after watching that horrible God's Not Dead movie.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a horrible movie based on the name alone.
ReplyDeleteSo...Smallville meets Jesus Christ?
ReplyDeleteThere are several fascinating accounts of Jesus' childhood that aren't included in the Bible. Like one story where he's playing with a friend and accidentally causes him to fall to his death, and when someone (his mother, maybe?) says something about it he uses his abilities to bring the kid back and is kind of like "See? I didn't kill him!" Stuff like that would be cool if they actually used it, I'm not a Christian anymore, but if they did this right it could still be worth watching. Hopefully they approach it from his "humanness" and not pretend he was a perfect child or anything (even a god in a mortal body with hormones would have some emotional things to work through). TBH I'll be surprised if this actually airs, but its interesting FOX is doing this, while FOX News is conservative FBC is definitely not. lol
ReplyDeleteAs a general rule, I'd say FOX + Jesus = problem.
ReplyDeleteUghhh. What is with all the religious crap spinning around in Hollywood at the mo. Don't you think we have enough of that nonsense in the real world? And Jesus+Fox makes me lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL. The high school years of Jesus Christ. The CW should call Julie Plec and get on it pronto.
ReplyDeleteThey even have a love interest in Mary Magdalene. How long will it be till he tells her he's the son of God? XD
ReplyDeletedon't worry we'll get another love interest soon to make a love triangle, and people will be shipping MARYSUS!
ReplyDeleteAnother love interest you say?
ReplyDeleteIt must be Satan in human female form. A saucy vixen, tempting Jesus's celibate status.
He'll obviously need five best friends: Mark, Luke, John, Judas and Matt. Three of them will be blond with blue eyes, one will be afro-american and one will always dress in black leather and look sketchy.
ReplyDeleteOne of them will betray Jesus sometimes around May sweeps, but no spoilers :D
My first response too: "Seriously?"
ReplyDeleteLeave it to FOX to jump the shark so quickly during this religious movie/TV phase.
