Samuel L Jackson Is God

…or at least the voice of God, on an upcoming Bible audio book:

Jackson was given the lead role because producers felt his deep, authorative voice was perfect for the role of God.

The audio book will feature the voices of a number of other black celebrities also – I assume they’re trying to appeal to a new audience by using black celebrities… whether it’ll work remains to be seen. I would’ve thought James Earl Jones would’ve been a better choice for the voice of God (does that make him the Metatron?).

I can just hear Jackson now: “Thou Shalt Not Kill, Muthafucka!”

And speaking of Samuel L Jackson, Snakes On A Mothafuckin Plane.
