Julia Roberts Accepts 'Jesus Henry Christ'

You can't judge a book by it's cover, but if you could, then the script for Jesus Henry Christ would be pretty flippin' cool, don't you think? We have progressed so far in our society that soon enough, we'll just have a movie called God Damn, only to piss people off. Good fun. But while the title certainly stands out, so does the attached producer: Julia Roberts. She's not scheduled to star, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but her Red Om Films will take the Oscar-winning student film by Dennis Lee and spin it into a big time feature film. The story's a little out there, too, even if it's not as sacrilegious as the name might suggest: A boy conceived in a Petri dish is christened Henry James Hermin. At the age of ten, Henry decides that his mother's love simply won't suffice on its own, and embarks on a journey to find his biological father. His roadmap to dear old dad? Post- It notes stuck up all over his home town. Roberts kind of had the inside track for this project, anyway, since she stars in Lee's feature debut, Fireflies in the Garden, which is due out later this year. As a producer, the star of Duplicity has been behind Stepmom, the American Girl TV and movie series (including last summer's Kit Kittredge), and 2010's Friday Night Knitting Club.
