No, Michael Sheen is not extending his thespian repertoire to include the Son of God.He and Toni Collette have signed on to star in **Jesus Henry Christ, which Julia Roberts is producing with her Red Om company.

According to Variety, Christ follows a young genius born out of artificial insemination and raised by his loving, left wing feminist mother (Colette). His life is largely contented, but then he discovers he has a half-sister, and meeting her leads him on a quest to find his biological dad.

And just who might that be? Take a look at the headline again. Yes, Sheen plays a professor who has sunk into feelings of depression and guilt, but finds a ray of hope upon learning about his prodigious spawn.

Dennis Lee has written and will direct this one, which is based on the short film, which nabbed a student Oscar back in 2003. He’s making the movie right now in Toronto.
