In a recent interview regarding Be Kind Rewind, Jack Black stated that Year One will be about two men running around in Moses’ time. He said that the movie is similar to Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Jack Black stated that it might be fun to see all the stories of the Bible in a modern movie. In an interview with MTV, Michael Cera described it as a comedy set in Biblical times with Black’s character Zed, looking for some kind of meaning for his life.
