And yea, the degenerate filmmaking community continued not to learn the lesson of the movie called Dogma, even when we reminded them of it only yesterday.

The latest creative type risking the wrath of, if not God, then some people who claim to speak for him, is The Hills Have Eyes director Alexandre Aja.

When he’s finished shooting Mirrors (a loose remake of a Korean horror about a reality-distorting looking-glass) he’ll start work on the script for The Gospel According To Jimmy.

Taking as his source the award-snatching French novel of the same name by Didier Van Cauwelaert, the comedy finds an LA-based pool cleaning nobody who always wanted to be special – but he never expected this! No, he’s not a werewolf, he’s a clone of Jesus! Created by taking DNA from the Shroud of Turin!

"It's a wonderful satirical comedy about America today and the rise of Christian fundamentalism," Aja told Variety. Who wants to guess how long it takes it to rise in this case?
