Think you clicked this for the plot of the movie? If you did here it is: two modern teens rescue Jesus from crucifixion, take him to the 90s and hilarity ensues...then a lesson is learned. Happy? Now if you clicked this to know the story of how this whole idea for "Time Christis" then read on!

"In the beginning..."
Outside of going to high school, co-creator Barry Harmon worked at a movie theater. Sure the pay was horrible but his fellow employees (for the most part) were great! One fellow worker by the name of Mike Tarrel was a Catholic, and one day brought a Jesus action figure to work. Both Barry and Mike played with the figure during the slow periods, joking about walking on water and sorts. That same day Barry joked that there should be a Jesus movie made where Jesus lives in the present.
The original premise was that Mike and Barry climbed into an oven and traveled back in time, rescued Jesus and brought him back to our time. The title was originally a spoof on the "Friday" movies starring Ice Cube, but our movie would be titled "Good Friday" with the following sequels being "Next Good Friday" and "The Good Friday After Next." One of the jokes included Jesus not being able to take a bath due to his power of walking on water, which found its way into "Time Christis." Barry and Mike joked about turning the idea into a film during the summer, but that idea never was realized until Barry went off to college...

"And God said, Let there be light"
School of the Art Institute located in Chicago, Illinois. This is where "Time Christis" came to be. Jake Chalkley, devout Catholic and Indiana resident, attended the same 4-D class as Barry did. The class, focusing on performance and video art, was perfect for both Jake and Barry. They had the talent, they had the skills, but when finals came they needed an idea. Having helped each other before on projects for the class, they thought the final was a time for a grand collaboration...but what?
Jake had an idea...well it was sort of Barry's idea, but Jake brought it up. Jake asked Barry if it would be cool if the two produced the Jesus movie that Barry had mentioned weeks before during idle chit chat. Barry, knowing thie was his only chance, said sure and the project was off the ground! Until it crash landed and started on fire when Barry and Jake realized they needed a Jesus.

"God's Only Son."
The two had a prospect for Jesus in mind, but would he be willing? They could only hope. Lincoln Stice, teenage hybred of Doctor Emmett Brown and Egon Spengler, was a Californian who always acted as if he had a bit too much sun. Lincoln attended Graphic Design with Barry and a Computer Lab with Jake. When asked to play the part Lincoln said he would gladly help out, and thus the pieces were in place and the game was set. "Time Christis" was ready.
