Greetings greetings greetings!

We are so excited here at our “slightly” off the studio lot, very humble offices of Manka Faith.

Our offices may be plain and underfunded (and, frankly, freezing) but we are still the World’s Largest Faith-Based entertainment group (inside the World’s Largest Media Company).

After the recent announcement that Manka Bros. is producing OVER 400 NEW SERIES for the MankaGoNow over-the-top service, Manka Faith is ramping up production, basically quadrupling our content output!

IT’S CRAZY OVER HERE!!!

So much new Jesus shit coming your way (and, to be fair, some Jewish and Hindu stuff, too)!

I’m most excited for the fans… of religion… of goodness… of hope in this world.

It’s a great time to be a person with faith.

This is just a quick update for our Manka Faith God Blog fans (and there are many) of what new content we’ll be producing for the new MankaGoNow service (only $34.99 a month!).

The new Manka Faith content includes:

Christian Lions (animated series, faith): Manka Faith inspirational children’s series about Lion missionaries bringing the word of Christ to other animals.
The Death Of Jesus (documentary, faith): Manka Faith sends a documentary crew to the Middle East to find out what really happened to Jesus – and they really found out.
Penny’s From Heaven (multi-year series, faith): Manka Faith’s blatant rip-off of “Touched By An Angel.”
New Bible – Fixing The New Testament (reality series, faith): There’s a new Jesus with a new Bible with new Apostles and they’ve written a new Bible. This series tells you everything that changed from the old Bible and what we can expect when the world ends.
In The Pew (reality series, faith): Every week, in the pew, Manka Faith brings you the latest from the world of religion. We’ll have interviews with Catholics, Lutherans, Presbyterians… and all the rest.
Devoutrageous! (multi-year series, faith): You gotta feel it, people! Get up! Get up! The world’s biggest mega-church has pull-up bars above every pew and a tight ass funk band to fire up the crowd. My God, if Jesus don’t exist at least we’ll all be in shape when we die!
Rapture Checkers (multi-year series, faith): Ten percent of those taken in the rapture was a mistake. This squad of “rapture checkers” investigate if the right ones were taken and drag back to Earth the ones that shouldn’t have gone.
God? (reality series, faith): Manka Faith interviews victims of accidents, robberies, and horrible health issues who share their views on the existence of God. [Bottom line: they ain’t a fan.]
Jesus V Mohammed (reality series, competition, faith): It’s a battle to the finish. The true Messiah will be revealed at the end of the season.

We’re even supporting a series from our atheist friends that is not produced by us because… #inclusion.

Jonah & The Whale And Other Bullshit Stories About Bullshit (limited series, anti-faith): No God Productions (NOT affiliated with Manka Faith – but we are open minded so here’s the promotion) presents this nice alternative world (for our atheist subscribers).

So you can see why we’re so excited!

#Excited!

All this new production is on top of the films and shows we are already producing – which include our $300 million film adaptation of “The Book Of Habakkuk” which should begin production… soon.

The “Tween Jesus N’ Me” 2019 Stadium Tour…

And so much more. Watch this space!

Ben-Hur [Review]

Ben-Hur

Reviewed by Josh (Manka Faith’s summer intern)

If you can see just one more movie before you die, see “Ben-Hur!”

Are you seriously going to make “War Dogs” the last movie you see before you die?

No, I didn’t think so.

THIS MOVIE HAS IT ALL.

And by “it all,” I mean, IT ALL! Love, religion, chariot races, sand, camels, hot chicks, Egyptians, Romans, Jews – bald dudes wearing jewelry, Morgan Freeman.

It’s like “Fast & Furious” times 30.

See it, die… repeat.

Or as Judah Ben-Hur says in the trailer: “Bitch, you should have killed me.”

Book Of Habakkuk To Become $300 Million Major Motion Picture

What an announcement!

What a day!

Manka Bros. Studios – The World’s Largest Media Company – in association with its Manka Faith theatrical division – Original Sinema – will begin production on the Book Of Habakkuk which is the eighth book of the 12 minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

Great stuff!

This will not slow up our previously announced production of the Book of Judges – but it will cost considerably more.

The Book of Judges will be made for approximately $5 million (mostly camel rental – ha! Just kidding, it’s an awesome story. One of the best books of the Old Testament!)

As for The Book of Habakkuk (we call it ‘Haba’ in production meetings), I’m fairly certain $300 million is the biggest movie budget in the history of motion pictures. Others may have cost more to produce (i.e., Avatar, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc.) but none have announced their budget at the BEGINNING as $300 million. Just imagine where this one will end up (kidding again, Khan Manka, Jr.!).

And it will all be on the screen.

You may ask why we’re taking such a huge risk.

To us, this is a much safer bet than something like Tae Kwon Doug which cost only $45 million to produce but will barely make back $1,500 if it’s lucky.

We just know in our gut that there’s a lot of money in this God stuff.

A lot.

So we’re willing to roll the dice.

And if all works out – there are plenty more books of the Old and New Testaments to keep this machine running!

Check back here over the next few months for updates on casting, locations and, in general, how everything is moving along.

The Book Of Judges

Hello to our growing Manka Faith community!

It’s a pleasure to be “glogging” you and telling you about the exciting things coming up from our Faith-based Theatrical label – Original Sinema.

We are just about to begin production on The Book Of Judges.

This is a very exciting project for us.

In my opinion, it is one of the best books in all the old or new testaments.

It’s just so well structured that there is very little that we needed to change (a few character names and the sequence of events here and there).

It’s got some great text and action and it’s all very “theatrical” – which is why we chose it for our inaugural production.

Check back here whenever you can for updates from the set.

I leave you with the quote we’ll use on the one-sheet.

“Every Man Did That Which Was Right In His Own Eyes” – Book of Judges 21:25.

Cheers!
