He’s the man for brilliant portrayals of real-life iconic figures (Tony Blair, David Frost, Brian Clough) but this latest comedy-drama, despite the title, does not see Michael Sheen playing the son of god. JESUS HENRY CHRIST will see Sheen’s character coming to terms with finding out that he is the biological father of a child-genius after a sperm donation. The film will co-star Aussie actress Toni Collette, Jason Spevack and Samantha Weinstein and is directed by Dennis Lee. The official plot synopsis goes as follows:
Precocious doesn’t even begin to describe Henry James Herman, a petri dish child who writes rabble-rousing manifestos on the nature of truth… at age 10. This boy-genius misfit’s world turns upside down when–to the dismay of the doting single mother who raised him–he embarks on a search for his biological father.
