    Black Jesus

    Adult Swim Greenlights ‘Black Jesus’ Live-Action Comedy Series

    Adult Swim is looking to stir a debate with a series order to Black Jesus, a half-hour live-action scripted comedy from The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder. The show stars newcomer Gerald “Slink” Johnson (Grand Theft Auto V) as Jesus living in present-day Compton, CA on a daily mission to spread love and kindness throughout the neighborhood with the help of his small but loyal group of downtrodden followers. adultswimThe series pickup for Black Jesus comes on the heels of the Jesus race controversy triggered by Fox News star Megyn Kelley’s recent “Jesus is white” comments.

    Black Jesus co-stars Charlie Murphy (Are We There Yet), Corey Holcomb (The Cleveland Show), and John Witherspoon (The Boondocks). Production on the new series has begun in Los Angeles for a premiere later this year. Possibly because of its subject matter, the network had kept the project pretty quiet. Its May 2013 upfront slate included a live-action pilot by McGruder but no premise was announced. McGruder, who created the series, will serve as executive producer through his 5 Mutts Prods. along with writer-director Mike Clattenberg (Trailer Park Boys) and LEG’s Norman Aladjem and John Bravakis. Johnson previously guest starred in an episode of McGruder’s Adult Swim animated comedy Boondocks.

    I wonder, if a certain person that may or may not be a mod, will watch this movie?

    Could be interesting, but I'd rather see Adult Swim revive The Uncle Ruckus Movie.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I dunno if you meant me or not (dunno who else on the team is religious) BUT

    I admit, I don't like The Boondocks. I have tried so hard to like it because I know a lot of people do, but I could never get into it.

    With that said, the plot of this sounds funny as shit. I will totally give it a shot.

    You need to watch the trailer to find out what I meant. Has nothing to do with religion.
