Christopher Walken is Zeus in Gods Behaving Badly

**

*Manic icon Christopher Walken is slated to play a down-and-out Zeus
in the TV movie adaptation of literary bestseller _Gods Behaving
Badly_.*

The film, based on the satirical novel by author Marie Phillips,
revolves around Zeus' family of destitute Gods and a young couple who
change their lives.

During the book's promotion, Philips revealed: “Ultimately
[religion] comes down to siding with one team or another...what about
the Greeks?"

"No-one sides with that team any more. "But what if they were the ones
who got it right? So here's this group of gods, imagine if they were
still around…”

With Walken now onboard, the film boasts an eclectic cast that
includes Alicia Silverstone, Sharon Stone, Oliver Platt, Rosie Perez
and John Turturro.

Marc Turtletaub (producer on _Away We Go_) is set to direct with Ben
Stiller’s production company Red Hour Films bringing the project
to life.
