Julia Roberts and Dennis Lee Producing Jesus Henry Christ
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jesus Henry Christ is based on Dennis Lee's Student Academy Award-winning short film of the same name, and follows Henry James Hermin, a boy conceived in a petri-dish and raised by a loving, left-wing feminist. At the age of 10, he decides his mother's love is not enough and begins to follow a trail of Post-It notes stuck around town hoping it will lead him to his biological father.
Lee is writing the new script and will direct. Sukee Chew of Hopskotch Pictures also is producing.
Roberts is not planning to star in the movie at this time.
A Columbia film school graduate, Dennis made his feature directorial debut on Fireflies in the Garden, which stars Roberts, Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hayden Panettiere. The film is being released June 19 by Senator Entertainment, which also financed and produced.
No production date has been set.

Err
you know who i can't stand?
julia roberts.
the synopsis sounds reasonably interesting though, so assuming she doesnt wind up being the star of the film i may check it out on dvd in 5 years or whenever it comes out.
