Is there a story from some religious tradition that you would particularly like to see made into a movie?

Question

Whom would you cast as the principal character(s)? Whom would you like to see direct?

Answer 1

The story of Jezebel. Britney Spears would be perfect.

Answer 2

Apart from a whole bunch of weird African stories, from the Bible I'd like to see the Genesis, for Heaven's sake! :)
With Whoopie Goldberg as God. I'm not a feminist, I'm just crazy about this one lady.
Director should have to be Terry Gilliam, of course. Only he could get crazy enough to recreate all the huge mess in a relatively short time.


(...not to mention the story with St George and the dragon, with Christian Bale as St George and Michael Madsen as the dragon, but that's personal)

Answer 3

Yes, it would be a series of short stories, with a twist, like Tales from the Crypt, or Creepshow. David and Goliath, Judas and his demons, Jesus and the possessed person w/the pigs. I would cast a bunch of no names, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck types would ruin something like this.
I would have George Romero, Stephen King, Clive Barker and all of the other big names direct.

Answer 4

I'd like to see the book "I Queen" based on the book of Esther made into a screenplay... I like the story of Esther, even though I'm atheist, and I LOVED the book.

I'd leave casting to the experts.

Answer 5

I think the story of Ruth and Boaz would be a great love story...
unknown characters...director....mmm...Forrest Whitaker

Answer 6

Jack Black as Zarathustra/Zoroaster. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Zartosht.jpg

Answer 7

Yes, but I'll only share the script with a chosen director. ;)
