There's a new Christ coming to the silver screen!
First, there was Willem Dafoe in Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. Then, there was Jim Caviezel in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Now, there is...Paris Jackson? Yes, you read that correctly. Later this year, the 22-year-old model daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson will star in Habit, where she will play a gender-bent version of that Holy figure who just celebrated his resurrection this past Sunday.
Dressed in Jesus' typical white and red robes with a head full of closely-cropped hair, Paris Jackson is the spitting image of Monsieur Christ — even if her modern update does come complete with a slightly-less-than-historically-accurate nose ring.
According to a press release for the forthcoming film, Habit will follow"a street-smart party girl with a Jesus fetish who gets mixed up in a violent drug deal and finds a possible way out by masquerading as a nun.
It's no coincidence that musicians like Rossdale, Ho, Hince, Mosshart, and Jackson were cast either. According to producer Donovan Leitch, this was a deliberate maneuver because music will be central to the narrative. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he said,"Yes, we intentionally stacked the film with rock stars and will have a very rocking soundtrack."
According to reports, filming on Habit has already wrapped and is now in post-production, which is good news for anyone scared that our current coronavirus-induced lockdown would delay the release of this sure-to-be-buzzy indie release. Expect new updates soon.
