Nearly 300,000 people have signed a petition aiming to block the release of the independent film “Habit,” starring Bella Thorne and Paris Jackson, in which Jackson plays a version of Je…

Thorne plays a street-smart, party girl who has a Jesus fetish and finds herself in a drug deal gone wrong. She’s able to escape danger by disguising herself as a nun. Multiple times in the film, Jackson appears as Jesus to her.

“A new blasphemous Hollywood film is predicted to come out soon depicting Jesus as a lesbian woman. The film ‘Habit’ stars Paris Jackson who plays the role of ‘lesbian Jesus.

The cast also includes Hana Mae Lee, Gavin Rossdale, Caroline D’Amore, Josie Ho, Andreja Pejic, Larissa Andrade, Libby Mintz, Jamie Hince, Ada Mogilevsky, Damon Lawner and Michael Suppes.

Janell Shirtcliff is directing the film from a script by Suki Kaiser, based on a story by Libby Mintz and Shirtcliff. Elevated Films, Donovan Leitch, 852 Films, Martingale Pictures, Voltage Pictures and Cloudlight are the producers on the film.

Gay ppl move like they r not sensitive when someone talk shit about their belief on being gay

Petition to Block?.... Sales just surged!

Lol

There is only one depiction of Jesus I enjoy, and his name is Alex Murphy.

Christian Snowflakes!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't blame the people. As much I love the concept, I also understand religion is a sensitive matter. Filmmakers have to either curb to it or get around it.

It should only be blocked for being terrible.

Oh boy! 🤧 Freedom of speech means some of us have a right to watch a movie with a lesbian Jesus. That's the purpose of the MPAA rating system.

I will also sign the petition if it involves stopping Bella Thorne's career.

I want to see it now.

For God shall not be mocked.

Hey! That's no different than schools banning Huckleberry Finn! Oops.

that would be like 300k blocking lord of the rings jesus is just as real as gandalf both fictional characters from a book

Looks like this film undermines the ideology behind a religion which I understand can be very offensive. Why they depicting Jesus as a woman? This goes against teachings of Christianity. Will confuse young Christian kids what we meant to teach them? Religion deserves more respect

Well shit, now I wanna see it

Fantastic publicity move

I mean Ariana did say...

Can't those people, um, just not watch the film?

God is the biggest conspiracy and fake news ever, so doesn't matter who will play him🤷🏻‍♂️

Nothing like patriarchal censorship to make you want to see a movie even more. Habit

Both in the New Testament and the Creed, reference is made to the HUMANITY of Jesus, not his sex. I know he was male in the Gospel narratives, but the idea the Incarnate Word can't be depicted as female is absurd.

Why are these people even famous?

Great marketing strategy by the studio.

They could always... just... not watch it. Decide what you want to watch, but not what others can watch.

Oh man who cares this is a joke.

So much for freedom of speech providing you agree with it.

Nobody can prove Jesus was a man

Wouldn't be surprised if this is a contrived stunt to get more coverage and eye balls. Got mine.

If Paris Jackson acting in an indy movie rocks the foundation of your beliefs, you're holding onto a shaky and weak philosophy.

one big publicity stunt also Bella Thorne is a porn name

I'm already hearing Oscar buzz

Oh, well. They don't have to see it.

They're only serving to promote this film. It isn't finished and doesn't have a distributor. Why are they giving it attention? Oh, that's right: their socio-religious identity is caught up in playing the persecuted victim. How silly of me to forget.

I think brainwashed people and Hollywood lovers should watch this video. Hollyweird Pedowood

How is this a big deal? ThatKevinSmith had Alanis Morissette play God in a movie and the world went on.

If you LOVE Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit don't watch this Hollyweird crap.

Shamone.

Remember when conservatives says it was censorship when HBO added à commentary in Gone With the Wild.

The word 'Blasphemous' and people trying to block it literally makes me want to see the movie when I probably never would have wanted to.

Jesus and God were women, get over it

I'd watch

I’d review it, why not?

I will gladly review the film.
