Verhoeven wrote JESUS OF NAZARETH, which supposes that instead of a divine birth, Jesus was the product of a rape by a Roman soldier. As a prophet, Jesus railed against the Roman Empire and was crucified because of his radical politics, and Verhoeven spent years researching the subject. Now he has a financial backer in Chris Hanley (Muse Productions) and Roger Avary of PULP FICTION will be doing the script.

Apparently, Robocop was an allegory to Christ’s life - but what do I know?

I think this will call for some popcorn and fizzy pop while we sit back and enjoy the sh!tstorm.
