American Jesus

3/26/09 - Filmmaker Matthew Vaughn and comics creator Mark Millar are in talks to reteam for another comic-book adaptation, Millar's American Jesus, which centers on the return of Christ in the modern world, leading to a final confrontation with the Antichrist in a bid to save humanity, according to the Hollywood Reporter.  The book, made with artist Peter Gross, originally appeared as a three-issue miniseries in 2006 with the title Chosen.  When Millar, one of the top writers in the comics field, decided to continue the story as a trilogy of miniseries, the overarching title became American Jesus. The second installment is subtitled "The Resurrection" and is due out in the fall.
