I Am the Lord Thy Zod, Er I Mean, God!

Terence Stamp is the voice of God in new audio edition of the New Testament which will be out just as soon as they can find Satan.

“We’re still experimenting,” Cerny said last week from the studio in Chicago. “We have some ideas and someone in mind, but nothing is for sure yet. It’s a challenge because it needs to sound really devious and seductive and, uh, you know, devilish. But you don’t want to be too over-the-top.”

York, who noted that Americans seem to cast Brits as both deities and devils in movies (“I think it has to do with diction”), said he was surprised to hear that the fiery role was still available. He also offered a wry casting suggestion for the ultimate evil. “How about that fellow from ‘American Idol,’ Simon Cowell? He’s seems up for the job.”

I think that it should be James Earl Jones, then fans can dub his lines in the Bible over those of Whinnikin Skywalker.

Translation, “We can’t get Mick to return our calls.”

I would totally buy that. But only if they add a line. “Thus sayeth the Lord, no more fucking ABBA!”

I think Alan Rickman could do a nice job with the role.

Does God actually have any lines in the New Testament? I thought he’d turned the firm over to the kid and his posse pretty much by then. Maybe in Revelations…?

He tells John the Baptist to drown His kid.

The best Satan I ever heard was Billy Zane. I think he played the part in a Tales from the Crypt episode I saw, with most of it just being voice acting. He nailed it.

Pity Vincent Price is no longer available.

When I read this article in the paper, I immediately thought of opera singer Samuel Ramey:

In the dramatic repertoire, Ramey has been acclaimed for his “Three Devils”: Boito’s Mefistofele, Gounod’s Faust, and Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust.

He’s also done a CD called, “A Date With the Devil”.

Satan- If NOT Alan Cummings, then Al Pacino or Julian Sands.

But in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, right?

Jude Law or Patrick Stewart could do a pretty sly Lucifer, I think.

[Wolfian]

23: And then Jesus spaketh, saying, “Art thou dense? Art thou slow in mind?”
24: “I am the son of He is Who He is! He that thou shall kneel before.”

I’m going to second Alan Rickman was the devil.
