The film is expected to begin shooting this May. Detroit Monday notes that the Michigan city may serve as a prime filming location.

A comedy-thriller, Salvation Boulevard is set in the world of mega-churches in which a former Deadhead-turned-born again-Christian finds himself on the run from fundamentalist members of his mega-church who will do anything to protect their larger-than-life pastor.

Joshua‘s George Ratliff will direct from a screenplay he wrote alongside Douglas Stone, based on the book of the same name by Larry Beinhart.

Cathy Schulman and Celine Rattray of Mandalay Vision will produce.
