Harold Ramis Talks Faith, Funny, And Year One

This Friday, the next project from Awesome Writer/Jew/Ghostbuster Harold Ramis opens in theaters all over the country. Year One stars I Heart Jews favorites Jack Black and Michael Cera as ancient villagers that travel on an epic adventure through early history.

In an interview with AMC, Ramis talks about religion, comedy and his inspiration for his new film.

"I don't mean to offend any Christian person, I only mean to offend Jewish people, who I trust completely because I'm Jewish. I've always been interested in comedy that juxtaposes contemporary sensibility in the ancient world. After 9/11 I started thinking about the origins of fundamentalism and orthodoxy. People were arguing about creationism and was the world created in six days or not. I won't say it's an absurd belief, but the arguments are absurd, it seems to me. So I thought, "Let's look at Genesis, the seminal book of Western civilization."

Well, between this interview, the trailer, and the fact that Egon made it, We'll defiantly be checking it out!
