LET ME BE GOD
By Leonel Martín Larregain

GENRE: Thriller, Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

The story repeats itself every three thousand years. Chaos rules the world. Countries and religions no longer respect their borders or beliefs.  It’s Judgment Day.  Cancer will be eradicated from society and a new world will arise.

A church is the place where the Devil and Jesus face each other. The Devil questions each and every word proclaimed by the Bible.  He has one goal only: to increase hate in the world and lead it to its total destruction, and therefore becoming the new King.  But after all, Jesus will show the Devil that he will not be overthrown.  

What’s the price to pay for a world with no evil?

SYNOPSIS:

This is a movie which takes place in the present and develops around the entire world, where right and wrong, good and evil face each other till they achieve their goal: the destruction of society. It’s a circular story that repeats itself every three thousand years.

Chaos rules the world. Evil takes hold of the human race. Countries and religions no longer respect their borders or beliefs.

The Devil appears in a church. He challenges Jesus to save the world one more time. Jesus turns up himself, and the struggle to determine who the real King is begins.

The Devil will show Jesus all the atrocities in society and will question if having been crucified three thousand years before was worth it. He wants to be the new King crucifying Jesus one more time and taking control of the world with only one goal in mind: total destruction.

Jesus shows the Devil that he can’t be the King, he will always be the same: a puppet mastered by God and used in pursuit of his goals.

We have so many things to tell you about this Sci-fi / Thriller / Action movie, but let's better use some words from Mr. Keane:

Mr. Christopher Keane quoted:

"You've written Apocalypse Now 2007. A lot of people think that a woman is the Devil and they may be right. I hope so. Heaven is divine apathy, hell is a nightclub. Where would you rather go at the end? I like the Devil as a woman.

In this classic good v. evil battle, between the world's top moral guns, Jesus and Satan, you've put an original spin on the story that should generate a lot of moviegoers who are looking for a familiar tale with original spin.

This is very clever stuff, ironic and sardonic. And the other clever stuff is that which sits below the surface - the pervasive evil and careless disregard for humanity.

The real message here, is to face hopelessness and decide how to beat it back. Their antidote to hopelessness is in part the destruction of the world and also the destruction of the forces that, according the great religions, are currently ruling the world, mainly through threats and pain and guilt… and if those don't work, there's bacteria.

Good job. It's lively!. It's fun too. For some it'll be blasphemous or not?. Whatever it takes to fill the seats, which I'm sure this script will do."

Mr. & Mrs. Peterson quoted:

"This is the type of script that agents and producers really like to read. They think, and rightfully so:

- Strong film with great structure with great visuals.

- Good reviews at launch worldwide!.

- Long-term cult box office potential.

- This is a real "money maker"story
