Max Miller, the author of The Chosen One, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Netflix adaptation. He recently made some comments about it.

Although Netflix hasn’t unveiled an official trailer for the show yet, they did treat fans to an inside look. The video begins by introducing the talented cast and crew of the series. It also gives us a glimpse of Max Miller, the creative mind behind the original storyline.

“The story of American Jesus is very simple. It’s as if you were a twelve-year-old boy who found that you were the returned Jesus. It’s about a mother who runs away with her son because he’s in tremendous danger. And this kid, Jodie, finds out he’s in the Book of Revelation. It’s pretty apocalyptic.”

He further shares his thoughts on how The Chosen One’s storyline has been brought to life through Netflix:

“They found the most spectacular place in Mexico. I mean, it looks like a movie set. It looks like it’s been made out of CGI, but it’s real and it’s beautiful. The visuals of the series are very interesting because normally what makes a comic book adaptation work is CGI cities. This is very real.”

He continues:

“What they’ve done is, they flipped it the other way and just make the environment look supernatural. I think fans should be excited about the fact that I’m excited, and I’m the harshest judge of the adaptation. It looks, unlike any comic book adaptation I’ve ever seen. ”

The author’s enthusiastic remarks make The Chosen One a highly anticipated and thrilling adventure for the audience. Netflix not only provided an inside look but also revealed an official poster for the series on Twitter on May 18, 2023, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the show.
