We brought you the news last month that Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2) and Kim Cattral (The Ghost) were in talks to star in the comedy film, Sweet Baby Jesus. It seems those talks didn’t lead to anything as Deadline are reporting that Adrien Brody (Predators) and Sharon Stone (Casino) could take on Rockwell and Cattral’s respective parts. If cast, they will join already cast members Bette Midler (Hocus Pocus), Sean Brosnan (Surveillance) and Pixie Lott (a UK pop-singer).
A pregnant girl named Mary (Lott) goes back to Bethlehem Maryland at Christmas time, Her older boy friend Joe (Brody) is not the father of the child. Soon, rumors swirl that the birth is Jesus second coming.
Stone will play Mary’s protective mother, Darlene, while Brosnan’s role has yet to be revealed. Brosnan has been attached to the film ever since it was initially announced in 2008.
Sweet Baby Jesus will be directed by Peter Hewitt (Thunderpants), with production is expected to begin in September, supposedly for a release sometime next year.
