Do you seriously think John Wayne would have let anyone nail him to a cross? They might as well have gotten Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood.

So you're saying with John Wayne as Jesus, we would have had an entirely different ending?

Hee hee!

If Clint Eastwood have played the part of Jesus, everyone would be dead and he would have let God sort them out!

I would be totally jazzed to see Tom Selleck in the part.

But, ftw, Edward Norton!

John Wayne as Jesus would completely alter the character. Not only that, John Wayne probably would have turned down the role.

That'd be like Steven Seagal playing Buddha.
