Jesus is alive…but the Church wants him dead

Very alluring logline. I can think of 50 possible stories. Which one is it? Intrigue and mayhem. I want to read the synopsis.

I can tell you that from what I am reading now, this is an attack on Christianity in general and the Church specifically. The Catholic League will have alot to say about it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wow. At least the logline is getting lively ones even the funny ones. No, it's not a comedy. Neither is it telling a story of a long-haired man wearing a white nightie and carrying a cross. It's a modern-day, deeply psychological 3-parter for TV.

I love the idea of this being a comedy. But do agree with the need to flesh out the logline. I love the premise and the instant attraction it brings, leaves you wanting to know so much more.

Perhaps you could work in why they want him dead?
Those that love him actually hate him - have they only ever used exploited him as a brand? is Jesus the Ronald McDonald of the Church?

I have to say @Valentin "Miracles are not what they used to be" made me laugh out loud

What you have is a tag line rather than a logline.

Jesus is back, teaching peace. The Church doesn't want to learn.
Jesus was a hit. The church has hit men.
He came in peace. Too bad for him.
Jesus is back. His cross want him back.
Second coming. Third death.
Miracles are not what they used to.
From the Cloak of religion to the daggers of the churches.

You need to flesh more your logline.
Is it a comedy, a drama, a thriller?

@dpg - Haha, if only!

@MizzyIdiot - I just realised I have no idea what the title "Ortus" is about. A google search returned nothing universally understood, so if you're going to name the film this - include something in the logline to explain. Ortus sounds like a spaceship to me, perhaps the one Jesus lands in?

And they don't have to kill him. They can just dismiss him as another one of the mental cases with a Messiah complex roaming the streets, populating mental institutions. Unless...

Is this a modern retelling of the 'Greatest story ever told"

(After all, 'the religious establishment' wanted him dead the first time around)
