We’re all familiar with the common autocorrects that drive us insane on our smartphones. “Ducking” instead of, well, you know. “Judy” when you’re trying to type “Just.” The list goes on and on…
Well, in case you haven’t noticed lately, autocorrect has changed “Jesus Christ” to…wait for it…”Jesus Heist.” Seriously. A guy named Chris Hewitt pointed out how this new development totally sounds like a cool action movie.
Autocorrect just changed Jesus Christ to Jesus Heist and now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go off to write the biggest movie of 2021.

Hewitt’s tweet got the ball rolling and the Twitter collaboration began!
But who would play Jesus?

A very good point…who could fill those shoes on the big screen? But Hewitt fired back with his own plot twist.
Who’s to say Jesus isn’t the subject of the heist?

And then some awesome and creative possible titles for this excellent film came rolling in.
The Taking of Bethlehem 123? God Day Afternoon?

This title is pretty solid.
“Jesus Heist 2: Double Cross”

And here’s an excellent tagline that would bring folks to the theaters in droves.
An epic heist of biblical proportions, nobody saw the second coming, coming.

Let’s look at some possible dialogue for this blockbuster, shall we?
“You’re out of your mind Jesus! How in the hell do you expect to get all this fish and wine out of the vault? They’ll be able to smell us coming for a mile!”
“Let me worry about the fish and the wine.”
“Ok fine, but what about the moat? We’ll never get across it.”

I can picture this scene in my head.
Walking away from an exploding boat, putting on shades, not looking, while also walking on water.

I think this is a good scene to end on, don’t you?
Two of them rob the bank but there’s only one set of footprints.. because Jesus was carrying him.

And Hewitt had one final note for us readers and Twitter folks.
It’s fair to say this took off unexpectedly. Anyway, I don’t have a Soundcloud, but I do host the Empire Podcast, which is a fun pod about movies, with tons of great guests. Listen and subscribe here: https://t.co/DW0r7RJXAV It’ll pass the time while I’m off writing Jesus Heist.

This movie practically writes itself! Brilliant!
What do you think? Do you have any ideas for this film?
