A Jewish ‘Christian prostitute’?
Sarah Silverman may take the role in a new film opposite controversial Oscars host Seth MacFarlane
If conservative Christians weren’t won over by “Jesus Is Magic,” they probably won’t warm to Sarah Silverman’s next potential project, either.
The actress and former bed wetter is in talks to play a God-fearing sex worker in a new comedy: The role, as described by the Hollywood Reporter, is a “well-worn prostitute . . . who engages in all sorts of lewd activities but refuses to have sex with her fiancé . . . believing that as Christians the couple should wait until marriage before lying down together.”
The part would be in “A Million Ways To Die in the West,” the second film by Seth MacFarlane, who angered some viewers last month with his Jewish jokes (among even more controversial bits) at the Oscars.
In addition to MacFarlane, the film will star Charlize Theron and Liam Neeson. The story revolves around a cowardly sheep farmer and his romantic troubles.
