Okay, I just like to cast things. Ever since Skedoozy and I were on a train trip to the Grand Canyon and Skedoozy showed me a WIZARD magazine. They (in the magazine) were casting all my favorite comic books, I was mesmerized. This was well before the movies were coming out. I mean I think they nailed it once when they said Alec Baldwin (when he was younger) should play Batman, how cool would that have been….Anyways.
So that being said…who would you cast for people in the Bible. Alright I’ll lay down the players, and if you have an opinion ON CASTING ( I don’t need the opining on how full of crap you think I am) then put it down.

God
Devil
Jesus
Peter
Paul
John the Baptist
John the Beloved
Judas
Adam
Eve
Elijah
David
Moses
Joseph
Okay…that’s alot, but pick and choose.

God- I would say James Earl Jones, but that’s overplayed. Samuel Jackson because God is one Bad mutha! hahah in a good way mom.

Devil - Gary Oldman…because well he can play anyone…him or Brad Pitt. I think Pitt would be a good devil.

Jesus - Steve Buscemi…yeah really. I think the guy is a great actor and I think that he is just weird enough that you could concentrate on his words rather than his looks.

Peter - Ewan McGregor (not sure why)

Paul - James Gandolfini

John the Baptist - John Turturro. Because the Baptist was kinda kooky. He was a cousin to Jesus too, so somehow that works if Jesus is Buscemi..hehe

John the Beloved - Eric Bana. Depth man, depth

Judas - Tom Hanks. How cool would that be. The ultimate good guy is actually a baddie?

Adam - Woody Allen (hahahah), because I’d like to think the first man wasn’t all that! okay Okay…i’ll pick another…

Eve - Monica Belluchi…I mean COME ON!!! She might as well be the only woman on earth now!

Elijah - James Woods. Cuz there is this one time in the Bible where Elijah talks all this smack to the priests of Baal during a contest between gods. And there is no one that talks smack like James Woods.

David- Mark Ruffalo. I think he is a dramatic, sad and joyous actor, which fits David’s persona.

Moses - Charlton Heston now. Moses was one old dude when he did all he did, I think an old Heston now would whoop!

Joseph - He’d have to be good looking, and a smart aleck. Matt Damon!

But see Tom was like a "good" hitman in that. He still had morals and crap. I would want it to be like this really nice guy that BAmmo out of left field is like the devil..haha

This looks a lot like the cast if done by the Coen brothers!
