Haven't been able to verify it yet, but can you imagine Samuel L Jackson as the Voice?

The following links to one of the more straightforward articles, but further research would be welcome:
Samuel L. Jackson plays God

I always knew God had more sass than sources were letting on.

This ought to let it out.

The audio Bible was a vision of four Hollywood insiders: producer Kyle Bowser, casting director Robi Reed, music producer Lou "Buster" Brown and co-producer Ron Belk, an IT expert. The quartet is also developing video games that feature Biblical demons and epic battles as well as writing a script for a feature film about the Bible.
I'm frightened.

Soon to be bundled with Windows: Bible Vista!

To keep competition stiff, Apple releases the iBible, with accompanying iGod prayer module and ChristTunes hymnal!

The Judeo-Christian Reality TV show, Seven Minutes in Heaven pits preachers against each other as they struggle to witness and save souls while saving their own. Love, deceipt, lies, little boys! Can they survive the stereotyping to embrace a new, mainstream dogma? STAY TUNED!

James Earl Jones, definitely.

I dunno.. I just keep going through the ten commandments as read by Mr Jackson in my head...

... Which I don't think I'll quote, even without the profanity... not in this forum...

Nah, they can't be God. We all know that God is a middle-aged white guy, a good Republican, Protestant (most likely Baptist), blonde haired, and blue-eyed all American full back from Texas.

At least that's what I was taught. The good book says We was made in God's image--not themmm.

Wow! A feature film about the Bible! What a concept! Can't wait for the novelization!

Why do I feel that it's going to be something like a mix between the modern day Romeo and Juliet with Boyz N the Hood...

Didn't James Earl Jones already do a recording of the Entire Bible?
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
I kind of like what George Burns did with the role.

What about

Old Testament: Mike Myers doing the Jewish mother from SNL

New Testament: Britney Spears.
 
Posted by 0Megabyte (Member # 8624) on :
 
Britney Spears as Mary?

That had better be a spoof of virgin births.
 
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
OK, this is now the World's Worst Biblical Movie Casting Thread.

I say Madonna as, well, The Original Madonna.

Donald Trump as Job.

Woody Allen as JC himself.

and Steve Irwin would have made a rather interesting Noah.

::samuel L. Jackson voice:::


Oh what was that Pharoh? You were saying something? Oh you were finished! Well, allow me to retort. I got this verse in Bible, I gave it to the Israelites cause I thought it was some cold gangster $%*$#*%# to write in my testament... And I will strike down upon the with GREAT vengeance and fuuurious anger...

That...is....awesome...

Don't make me get Old Testament on your #$@#$@

When I saw this my first thought was ,"Will anyone get Samuel L. Jackson confused with Lawrence Fishburne and bring up this movie?".

I think that's actually a cool idea. Something to get a closer look at the life of different religions and the way their ministers live their lives.

Probably not. Maybe if they get Samuel L. Jackson confused with Morgan Freeman.
