“Better Call Saul” and “Nobody” star Bob Odenkirk has been set to co-write and co-star in the feature comedy “The Making of Jesus Diabetes”.
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” actor-writers Andrew Friedman and Michael Naughton, who also had supporting roles in ‘Saul’, will co-write and co-star. Another ‘Sunny’ alum, Heath Cullens, will direct.
The story chronicles the story of two reclusive, middle-aged brothers with no filmmaking experience who are attempting to make a movie about diabetes, set during Jesus’ time, to honor their recently deceased mother. All the while, the brothers’ journey is being filmed by their neighbor.
Odenkirk will play the supporting role of Leo, a shifty man with a dark past. The project aims to shoot in the first quarter of 2023. Michael Day, Andrew DeCesare, Naomi Odenkirk and Bryan DeGuire will produce.
