Anyone know anything about a film called The Heretic, written and directed by Tim Robbins (”a multi-layered ensemble about three spiritual figures in today’s world, the film is an exploration of faith, spirituality and hypocrisy”), which seems to be slated for filming here in Portland sometime this Spring?
Addendum: Looks like its supposed to be shooting from the middle of March to the middle of May.
Jay-Zus, 28-35, African-American, “charismatic, charming, a good natured guy, but when circumstances change so does his persona”. Jesus: 28-38, Latin or Middle Eastern, “a patient in a mental hospital who believes he is Jesus; he leads and breaks out with his ‘disciples’ and takes to preaching on the road”. Eight Disciples, 45-55, Male & Female, Indian, African-American, Asian, Native American, Hispanic, “have some sort of ‘criminal like’ feel to them … they break Jesus out of the mental ward”.
Apparently they will be hiring crew people.
I would imagine that they’ll be hiring extras as well.
