So we wanted to make sure that it was its own movie and not too much like "Bruce Almighty." I can't tell you too much because we're not supposed to talk about it yet, but I will let you know that the story revolves around something from the Bible, and a character who had a really big boat.ĭo you think that humor is important in the world today? It's always tricky when you're going to do a sequel to a movie that everybody really liked that you did, because you're competing with yourself in a way. What different issues do you explore in "Evan Almighty," the sequel set for release next summer? There's a lot of people who need help, and I'm sure God's doing a better job of that than I would do. The very first thing I would probably do would be try to help people. If you were God for a day, what would you do? I think Morgan was chosen more out of his personality type. I think we chose Morgan Freeman because of the type of person he is, where he has that feeling of authority about him, but he's also friendly and can crack a joke. (Laughs) I don't know what God looks like. That was me playing around with the concept of, What if God showed up and suddenly told you you had all his powers, what would your life be like? I just started kicking those ideas around and started thinking, what would be the most fun story for people?ĭo you think God really looks like Morgan Freeman? So the director, Tom Shadyack, came to me and said, "You know, I really like this idea, but I want to do it with Jim and make it more of a film for families." I had to sort of figure out what the whole story was. Steve Oedekerk: Bruce Almighty was already scripted, it already existed, but it was a different story about different characters, and the way the story was told was a little bit different. How did you come up with the idea for "Bruce Almighty"?
