Mark Pirro has renamed his latest production. It is now called THE GOD COMPLEX, and below is the first poster.

All your favorite characters are there; God, God's roommate Bob, Gay Joseph, Virgin Mary, Virgin Mary's Gynecologist, Noah and his wife Yessah, their sons Ham, Swiss and Rye, Adam and Eve and Pete, and many others. The script covers the world from "in the beginning" to today, where Jesus walks among us disguised as a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.
Pirro plans on starting pre-production within the next couple of months and says that "NOW is the time to send in your pictures and resumes. We accept union and non-union submissions (financial core preferred for your own sake)." Send your pics and resumes to:

However, as with all our actors, footage will be made available to you as well as our post production facility and skills (in case you want a demo tape or something like that made)."
