Bigger than Jesus: The Diary of a Rock and Roll Fan
Teaser trailer unveiled online

Portland, Oregon
October 4, 2005

As advance buzz continues to build about Bigger than Jesus: The Diary of a Rock and Roll Fan, the film's producers have unveiled a special, online "teaser" trailer, and begun accepting early orders for the hotly-anticipated film.

Rick Emerson and Joni DeRouchie, the production/writing/directorial team behind the hit rock and roll one-man show, made the announcement via the film's production blog this morning.

Describing the finished product as, "the greatest goddamned thing any of you have ever seen in your whole fucking lives", the duo revealed the existence of a second DVD, one comprised of extra documentary features, behind-the-scenes footage, and early audition tapes, in addition to other material.

Available as a standalone product or as part of a specially-priced "Holy Trinity" package, the supplemental disc, entitled Bigger than Jesus: The B-Sides, was described as "jam-packed with crap", and also features long form interviews with the film's creators and production crew.

Purchasers of the "Holy Trinity" package will receive both the primary DVD -itself filled to overflowing with special content- and the second disc, as well as a replica of the Director's script from the PSU performance of June, 2005, "complete with coffee stains, Joni’s handwritten cues, stage directions, notes, and more."

Street date for the film is December 3rd, 2005, with the official release to be marked by a gala bash featuring live music, special surprise guests, and what one insider would only refer to as "rivers of booze".

Updates are available at the film's official website, or through its production blog: biggerthanjesus.blogspot.com.

I love me some DD, and often picture Chris in a loin cloth, Wild Boys style.

I thought for the longest time that DD had recorded "I'm Too Sexy", I don't think I could listen to them without having that song claw it's way into my head. Ow, my head.
