Finding Jesus

Michael Sheen and Toni Collette will headline the family comedy "Jesus Henry Christ" says Variety.

Based on Dennis Lee's award-winning 2003 short film, the story follows a genius boy conceived in a Petri dish and raised by a loving, left-wing feminist (Collette).

His world is turned upside down when he discovers he has a half sister, leading a trail to his biological father - a professor and author (Sheen) suffering from guilt and unhappiness.
