Broadway Tumblr. I just saw the recent national tour of Jesus Christ Superstar. It was first of all, amazing. Simply spectacular. BUT it got me thinking about if I could direct another movie version (I know two already exist), BUT this one skewers the political Right, and in many ways would show how they have perverted Christianity to fit their own personal narratives.

Setting: NYC, Present day

Jesus: Middle Eastern Man, working in homeless shelters, promoting green living, spreading joy, etc.

Judas: White Man, similar activist, thinks that Jesus is thinking too small, is worried that Jesus is getting to loud due to the local news getting more and more coverage of him and his message.

Mary: Black Woman, not much to really change about this character, but is always seen with Jesus when the cameras are around, leading to Judas' concern.

The Pharisees: Fox News style hosts. All white men with blonde or brown hair, coifed and overly white shiny teeth. All of their songs are told through 'talking head' style reporting.

Pilate: Police Chief who is worried about crime and the appearance of the police.

King Herod: Joel Osteen style televangelist. Big stadium sized church, showy looks, overly smiley.
