JACKSON VOICES GOD

Movie superstar SAMUEL L JACKSON will voice God in a new audio version of the Bible. The taped recording of the New Testament will feature many famous other black actors and musicians. Jackson was given the lead role because producers felt his deep, authorative voice was perfect for the role of God. A source tells British newspaper The Daily Telegraph, "Samuel's just finished recording a CD set of the New Testament. The recording is due to be released in September (06), with a box set of the Old Testament to follow next year (07). "Scores of other black actors, musicians and athletes will also figure, but Samuel was deemed to be the perfect person to play God."

There is an amazing similarity to his voice and the late George Burns. Might have something there.

I'm guessing that James Earl Jones said "No" then because his voice sounds like God to me.

Just the New Testament? We're not gonna get to hear him do Ezekiel 25:17 again? Dangit.

I have heard through reliable sources that God's voice is actually high pitched and whiney. And he has a thick Jewish accent. This is why we never hear him speak.

Charlton Heston wasn't available. Besides, he's getting to be an old guy.

Yup, realized, but his voice is quite commanding, so to speak.

I think Pavarotti has the right sound.

I'm not sure a god would need a butt.

No, but I'm sure Pavarotti still needs one. Laughing

Not to be condescending, but singers use their throats to sing, not their butts.
