The Cast:

Jason Lee, Cary Elwes, Geoffrey Rush, Liv Tyler, Adam Sandler, Hank Azaria, Mel Brooks, and Chris Kattan.

The Pitch:

In the slums of New York, Jesus (Lee) is born. No 3 kings, no manger, no north star. This time, it's low key. Jesus sets out to correct the wrongs of the world with the help of his disciples (Elwes, Tyler, Sandler, and Brooks). He soon runs into trouble when the evil Gil Bates (Rush) fears that Jesus may interfere with his plans to take over the world. Bates hires a self proclaimed anti-Christ (Azaria) to hunt and kill Jesus. But the media frenzy has started and now Jesus is the biggest celebrity in the world.

The Director:

Mel Brooks

The Rating:

PG-13
 
 
THE ONLY FOOTAGE TO THIS FILM:

Black screen

The screen remains black for about five seconds until Jason Lee comes on the screen

JASON

Hi. I'm Jason Lee. The actor who portrays Jesus. As you all know, Jesus was black. But, Chris Rock wouldn't do this movie so they turned to me. I would just like to say to all the people in the back of the auditorium holding up their signs that say "Damn Mel Brooks To Hell" and "Jason Lee is an Ass" that if you just look closer.....

Red Petals start to fall from the sky. The theme song from American Beauty begins to play.

JASON

You'll see a masterpiece waiting for the projectionist to fix the movie.

Offscreen: PROJECTIONIST

Sorry. The film broke. It's gonna take at least another hour or so to fix.

JASON

What am I supposed to do for an hour?

PROJECTIONIST

Just joshing! It's ready to go.

JASON

Oh. Ok. On with the Show!

The Scene opens with birds chirping in the background, even though the scene is set in an alleyway of Harlem. We see Lil' Mary and Phat Joseph. Lil' Mary is smokin a joint

LIL MARY

Yo Jo-Jo. You want a hit of this?

PHAT JOSEPH

You know I strongly oppose drugs for they are against god.

Just then an old lady walks by. Phat Joseph proceeds to mug her

LIL MARY

But ya'll go out an rob an old lady?

PHAT JOSEPH

We live in a dumpster. I'm sure God doesn't care if we got money to eat.

A Bright light shines down on Joseph. A man comes down from heaven. We can see it is THE MUTE.

THE MUTE

(says nothing)

PHAT JOSEPH

Holy Mother Of Jesus!

VOICE OF GOD

This is THE MUTE!

LIL MARY

Did you see that? He spoke without movin his lips. I seen it before. That psychic did it. Miss Cleo!

PHAT JOSEPH

Miss Cleo is Black!

LIL MARY

He sure ain't no Cleo!

VOICE OF GOD

SHUTUP USELESS PAEONS.

PHAT JOSEPH

I don't pee on anything 'cept what I supposed to.

VOICE OF GOD

IDIOTS.

LIL MARY

I'm trippin. I gotta go!

Lil Mary gets up.

VOICE OF GOD

Wait! I need you to father my child!

Lil Mary runs into the street and is hit by a bus.

VOICE OF GOD

Damn. Now I have to wait another 100 years for a virgin Mary.

The Mute looks up at the sky waiting to be beamed up or something.

PHAT JOSEPH

Wait! Don't go God! I have some questions!

The Mute looks at Phat Joseph

VOICE OF GOD

What?

PHAT JOSEPH

I'll do anything.

VOICE OF GOD

Anything?

CUT TO: The Dumpster. It is rocking. You can only assume that The Mute and Phat Joseph are getting busy.

CUT TO: "Nine Months Later" Phat Joseph is sitting on a toilet.

PHAT JOSEPH

Man this one is huge!

The Mute walks in.

THE MUTE

(says nothing)

PHAT JOSEPH

Can a man have some privacy up in here?

THE MUTE

(says nothing)

PHAT JOSEPH

What do you want.

THE MUTE

(says nothing but points toward the ceiling)

PHAT JOSEPH

Yeah? So?

THE MUTE

(snaps his fingers)

VOICE OF GOD

Oh. Sorry. I was meditating. Thank you mute.

PHAT JOSEPH

I'm just tryin to take a crap. Give a guy a break.

VOICE OF GOD

Actually you're giving birth.

At that moment a plop sound is heard. Then a baby's cry.

PHAT JOSEPH

Dear Lord!

VOICE OF GOD

Yes? (pause) Oh. One of those darn slang things again.

The Mute reaches into the toilet and pulls out a baby.

PHAT JOSEPH

He's White?

VOICE OF GOD

Of course. He's Jesus.

PHAT JOSEPH

Wasn't Jesus black?

VOICE OF GOD

Yes and no. Jesus has been to earth several times as all of the races. The only famous one was when he was a jew. He was a gorilla once you know.

PHAT JOSEPH

Really?

 

CUT TO: Little Jesus being educated in a public high school.

NARRATOR

So Jesus lived his early years as....

The camera focuses on a white boy writing his name down on paper:

G- Zus

NARRATOR

Because Phat Joseph couldn't have spelled Jesus if his life depended on it. Jesus was educated in the finest of schools.

A kid behind Jesus pulls out a gun and shoots the teacher.

NARRATOR

Sort of.

Jesus gets up and moves to the teacher. He puts his hand on her breast. The other kids giggle. The teacher comes back to life.

DOPE JOEY

G up wit dat be wha jam G man cuz be up did dat wus?

JESUS
Fear not my small minded friend. I am Jesus! I am here to help!

The whole class busts out laughing.

NARRATOR

Jesus somehow survived school and graduated, as valedictorian.

CUT TO: Graduation

SPEAKER

The crowd applauses. The camera moves to two students snickering in the audience.

STUDENT 1

The camera moves back to Jesus.

JESUS

Camera to the students:

STUDENT 2

JESUS

Oh man. I couldnt have done this without my best friend in the world. The one guy who gets me through the day. Id like to thank (pause) my Dog!

A dog runs up on the stage. The camera cuts to the students. Student 1 stands up.

STUDENT 1

Jesus Christ! Thank God, Damnit!

Student 2 stands up and is about to say something when Student 1 is hit by a bolt of lightning.

STUDENT 2

(girlish scream)

JESUS
Oh yeah. And of course, I thank my father. The savior of mankind. God.

CUT TO: An Open Road

Jesus is walking down an open road.

NARRATOR
After graduation, Jesus took to the open road. He began his journey to find himself. Of course, he found a few people along the way.

SCENE: EXT--- Desert

Jesus is still walking down the road. We see a man lying in the middle of the road.

JESUS
That man! Hes in trouble!

Jesus rushes to the mans (Adam Sandler) side.

PERCEPOLES
Im not in trouble. Your father sent me to look after you.

JESUS
Who are you?

PERCEPOLES
Percepoles.

JESUS
