Is this the next project for me, Simon and Nick?

37

My brother’s friend has a 13 year old son who, two years ago, came up with this amazing film idea as a school project.

I’m in. Simon’s in. Nick’s in.

Must call Jack Black…

Thanks to young Sam for this high concept pitch.

  1. I can’t believe I missed this! This is great, and Sam is kind of a genius. I’m just sayin’, the kid knows what it takes to make a great movie.

    And it’s so nice that someone else recognized Nick Frost’s abilities, and is allowing him to play multiple roles. Truly a worthy challenge for that gifted thespian! :)

    Amazing…

  3. SarahAC says:

    Brilliant and adorable!

    You had me at “Nick Frost as all the Romans”. Please, this movie needs to be made.

    I think this film would be the first to get 6 stars. Angelina as Mary, Jack Black as Judas, Peter Serafinowicz as Pontius Pilate, Jessica Hynes as the Holy Spirit, Matt Lucas as John the baptist, Michael Smiley as Legion (the demon infested man) and funded by Mel Gibson sounds like a hit.

  6. Splanderson says:

    Um…I know it’s been said. But seriously, I would LOVE to see this get made.
    I would front you the ticket prices of going to see this a dozen (or more) times if you would like.
    Get the investment going…

  7. kyle taylor vs ?????? says:

    you could throw in a nice cameo of Mark Heap and Peter Serafinowicz playing the thieves that jesus was crucified with and nick frost could totally pull off playing all the romans

  8. omg. lol. I can see the comedic value in this

  9. pieface says:

    I know it’s been said - but Nick frost as ALL the Romans!! inspired.

    I can’t wait to ‘follow jesuses life’ - so Pegg as ALL the Jesuses!

    Jack Black will def say yes. esp if he is ALL of the Judeans.

  10. Sanc says:

    I’d watch it. Twice. In a row. Every night. After Scott Pilgrim.

  11. FairyGodmoose says:

    Words cannot describe the awesome. Get working, boys!

  12. masonhankins says:

    i loled for a good 30 seconds

  13. Slick says:

    Doooooo it! Make LIFE OF BRIAN seem lame!

  14. veronamay says:

    Oh, I dare you. No, I double dare you.

    … please?

  15. Damola says:

  16. Damola says:

    Oooo seems like ur buddy Mr. Reitman liked wat he saw of SP in London. That’s pretty cool, not that we’ expect anything but awesomeness from u Mr. Wright

    nick frost as all of the romans? that’s going to be some crazy cgi…hahahaha

  18. AmberG says:

    Aww.. How sweet! I say go for it :)

  19. Jacobunny says:

    I like how Sam misspelled your surname and then just squeezed in the capital “W” beside the capital “R” to fix it up. That’s the kind of subtlety I achieve and I’m more than twice his age!

    Also, casting ideas: Angelina Jolien = Mary (mother of Jesus)
    Jack Black = John the (whacky) Baptist

    The concept of Nick Frost as “all the romans” is brilliant but has been done - see Temuera Morrison as all the storm troopers c/o Attack of the Clones

  20. joejmcfall says:

    If i had one wish, it would be that every treatment for a film would look exactly like this :)

  21. This needs to be created. Think Charlton Heston would be available for a cameo?

  22. Bhavna says:

    I would definitely see this movie multiple times in theatres! XD

  23. Rob says:

    ALL the Romans you say?! :O

  24. Ellie says:

    Bless, that is adorable,

    I would go, just because it’s 7.60 to go see a film in my local cinema - this also sounds a lot better than most of the stuff on at the moment!

  25. Andy says:

    sounds like a laugh, you should go for it… as long as you add the line ‘He’s not the Messiah. He’s a very naughty boy’ womewhere in the script… -lol-

  26. Hatsworth says:

    Can I buy advance tickets? I smell an Oscar with this one.

  27. bonnie says:

    Are you sure you can get ‘Angelina Jolien’ to do it?

  28. Eva says:

    That just made my Morning!
    Nothing like a dose of Jesus and The Three Amigo’s before brunch!

  29. Ana Carolina says:

    I would very much like to see Nick as all the romans!

  30. pintendo says:

    nick will be great as all the romans!

  31. Ben says:

    It’s a “five star film, great,” only it’s never been in theaters and it’s only £6?

  32. Marko says:

    So when is this going to appear on IMDB as an upcoming project?

  33. Rosh says:

    yes, “all the romans” was the selling point for me.

  34. Henry says:

    It has “hit” written all over it. And I like the mispelling (twice) of “Staring Simon Pegg”. I can imagine him as Jesus, wandering around, staring intently at everything.

  35. Red says:

    Go for it! I like how Nick will play all the Romans!
