The French director known simply by the name Pitof is probably best known for his work on the masterpiece known as Catwoman. After such a success it only makes sense that you would want to work with the biggest name in the industry: JESUS CHRIST. The skinny is provided by our friends at moviehole:
“Only in New York”, written by Seth Zvi Rosenfeld and Geebee Dajani, follows a recently paroled street hustler looking for a new life and seeking redemption only to find his path blocked by the combustible melange of New York elements that once did him in.
I can totally see Jesus (also known to some as Jim Caviezel) as a street hustler. He loved to hang out with hookers in the bible, and surrounded himself with a gang. Jesus/Caviezel totally has a New York look going for him and I think this is a perfect casting. Pitof was wise to cast Jesus; if he can turn water into wine maybe he can turn shit into a decent 90 minute movie.
