What do you do when the Almighty comes to town? Build an ark.
By Alex Carrier

Well, not the Almighty by way of heaven but the Almighty by way of Hollywood in the form of Morgan Freeman. And, it’s not the story of Noah per se, but the story of Evan.

Through divine intervention or luck or, most likely, a lot of work; the movie Evan Almighty is being filmed right here in Central Virginia. This is the first sequel to the hit comedy Bruce Almighty which starred (along with Freeman as God) Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston. In this incarnation, Steve Carell, of The Office TV show, reprises his Bruce Almighty role as Evan Baxter to become the star and the recipient of God’s will.

A newly elected Congressman, Baxter gets the order from God “Build an ark.” (Long time fans of comedian Bill Cosby may think at this moment –“What’s a cubit?”). Go figure – Baxter’s family, friends, colleagues and neighbors find this a trifle odd and the story unfolds.

So, you might ask, what’s in this for me? Aha! If you are in Central Virginia, this project could mean your name in lights. Well, not actually but perhaps your name on the credits – well, unless your part ends up on the editing room floor.

All right, it means divine intervention has offered you the opportunity to become AN EXTRA in the movie. Time and God wait for no one so find out about auditions this weekend Feb.25-26, 2006 by checking www.vgreene.com/greenelite

As for that cubit. Get the comedy recording Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Fellow Right! Yes, it comes in an audio CD and, even if you have no special reason, give it to someone you love or like just because it is nice to give a smile.
