So apparently Al will be playing Jesus in this short. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3515742/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1

Meanwhile, you did find the IMDB thing yesterday, and I'm still thoroughly confuzzled by the photo.

Confirming what many here have thought for years, Al is our lord and savior.

No, that was just Karen. I'm pretty sure they've met, though.

A 26-minute comedy/drama, no description. Helpful. Meanwhile I've never heard of any of the other actors, and their roles are things like "Comic," "Lincoln/Violinist," "Director" and "Prussian Director." So how can we exactly speculate about this?

Well, has anyone tried Googling it? There's quite a bit of information readily available for anyone who looks.

Here's the trailer:

Looks like a really cool project. They produced the whole short film using only technologies available in 1914. All of the cameramen characters are played by well known DPs. And it's written & directed by Mark Kirkland, who's directed more Simpsons episodes than anyone else (77!).

I'm feeling better about this. I thought SURELY Al wouldn't take a role that makes fun of Christ. But a role that makes fun of people trying to do something all reverent and stuff, and failing spectacularly... that's fair game.
