If you’re looking for Jesus Christ he can be found at your local IKEA furniture store in LA.
At least that is the premise behind the new romantic/comedy “Prodigal Son” from Gigi Levangie Grazer and producer husband Brian Grazer.
This Universal Pictures/Imagine Entertainment venture is a film that centers around a workaholic single woman who is set up on a date by her mother. Her date, a handsome, kind and caring young Jewish carpenter who works at Ikea, turns out to be Jesus Christ, who’s returned for Armageddon and settled in contemporary Los Angeles.
Grazer told Variety that she came up with the idea while driving around L.A., when it occurred to her that one can just look around and feel that signs of Armageddon might already be cropping up.
I really hope you guys run this one for next week’s show…this is frickin’ hillarious. Also quite a well-written story. Please pass along my kudos to Kyle Nin.
Of course this will put certain uber-religious people who do not have a sense of humor up in arms, but that can be fun, too. The can of worms is oh so large…
Behold, I bringeth Alan, that he might aid you in the assemblage of you cheap pine shelves.
