\"\"<\/a>Deadline<\/a> reports that a number of actors \u2014 including William H. Macy, Virginia Madsen, Peter Facinelli and Neve Campbell \u2014 have signed on to star in an \u201cindie dramedy\u201d called Walter<\/i>, which concerns \u201ca young man who believes that he is actually the son of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film \u2014 which is either being filmed right now, as per Deadline, or is already in post-production, as per the IMDb<\/a> \u2014 is based on a 2010 short film of the same name, and, like the short film, it features Andrew J. West as the title character. The two films also share a screenwriter, though they are directed by different people.<\/p>\n

You can watch the short film below (warning: some NSFW language). It basically concerns a guy who thinks it is his responsibility to decide the eternal fates of everyone he meets because he made a deal with God when he was a kid, and this was how he could guarantee that his own father would go to Heaven when he died.<\/p>\n
