"I will tell you there's a lot of Christians who love Jesus, who love God in Hollywood. I've got news for everybody out there. Hey, the mass of Americans love family-friendly, love God," Burnett told Malzberg.
"Roma and I have become the very noisy Hollywood Christians, and we're very happy being in that position because it's our faith. This is a faith that millions of people have willingly died for, right? They could have saved themselves if they denied Jesus, but they didn't, and billions live for it."
"Messiah," to be filmed in Los Angeles, chronicles "the modern world's reaction to a man who first appears in the Middle East and seems to be performing miracles," The Hollywood Reporter says.
