Andy Serkis as Screwtape!

This looks like it’s going to be terrific.

I have a “six degrees of separation” connection with this because my good friend Sherry Weddell got to sit in on some sort of panel of Catholic converts with Paul McCusker, who is the guy behind most of Focus on the Family’s radio drama productions. He made about a million Adventures in Odyssey episodes and I noticed that, as time went on, he started dipping into Church history, the lives of the saints, and other dangerous material that makes it hard to stay Evangelical. I was delighted to hear a few years back that he had swum the Tiber and was tickled when Sherry had a chance to hang out with him a bit and do the panel thing. This project seems like a happy marriage of his skills with Serkis’ vocal talents. Who knows? Maybe Serkis will learn a bit about the Faith his culture has taught him to casually reject.
