At Netflix’s TUDUM Event last night, we got a teaser/behind-the-scenes for the adaptation of Kick-Ass creator Mark Miller’s comic series, American Jesus.
The original story followed a young American boy who realised he was the second coming of Jesus Christ and how this put him in danger, the new series relocates the series to Mexico and is called El Elegido which translates to The Chosen One and it stars Dianna Agron, Tenoch Huerta who introduce the series along with creator Miller and, while nothing is really shown yet, this could really be one to watch out for.
Dianna Agron, Tenoch Huerta and Mark Millar present the adaptation of the comic American Jesus to the screen, as El Elegido series.
About The Chosen One: Jodie, a twelve-year-old boy in Baja California, suddenly discovers he has Jesus-like powers: he can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead!
As the Evangelical and the Yaquí leaders in town try to get him to use his powers to save mankind, all Jodie wants to do is impress the girl he likes and stand up to his bullies. As Jodie struggles and eventually comes to terms with his destiny, everything gets thrown for a loop when he realizes he discovers the truth around his identity.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
