In somewhat atypical news, apparently The History Channel is indulging in a biblical spot of artistic license in producing a show about our favorite planking, miracle wine-brewing lord and savior, Jesus Christ—and his as-yet far uncharted days as a demon ass-kicking exorcist!

Looks a bit like Chuck Norris... |
What is currently titled
The Lost Years is pretty self-explanatory in that sense, but what may not be so self-explanatory is the employment of Quentin Tarantino's Robert Rodriguez replacement buddy and
Hostel and
Cabin Fever director Eli Roth to develop the show.

Mmm, raspberry! |
Of course, if you've seen Roth's films, his QT film appearances, and the plethora of TV series and documentaries he's been a part of, you do tend to wonder what direction this is going in.

Thou shalt not fuck with my shit! |
The Lost Years will supposedly follow Jesus's life over the course of the series from age 13 up until his death (or just before). Writer Scott Kosar, who brought us the 2010 remake of George A. Romero's
The Crazies, is on board, as is producer Eric Newman, fittingly of
The Last Exorcism.
Sound off, Fanboys, worth a watch?
