“It feels like a good time to release a transgressive film about the stupidity of men who try and fail and try better to understand and penetrate the mystery of women,” Turturro said in a statement to Variety. “I look forward to working with Screen Media and bringing our work and the character of the Jesus to American audiences.”
The Jesus Rolls was filmed in 2016 and was previously titled Going Places. Turturro, who starred alongside Jeff Bridges in the Coen Brothers’ 1998 original classic teased the film was “racy.”

“It shows how stupid men are,” he told The Independent. “That’s what the movie is kinda about — the women are the stronger, more together characters.”
Turturro added, “I had to tweak it a little bit but now I feel really good about. It’s basically an exploration of Jesus getting out of jail. It’s a comedy but a very human comedy.”
