A film that could benefit from a remake.

While resting up after Physical Therapy and my first experience using Outreach to get around, I was channel surfing. Caught a movie I've never heard of on TCM called The Next Voice You Hear.... The plot is that at on an average evening, all over the world, people hear a voice on their radio that identifies itself as God, promising more messages in the next few days. The story follows the Smith family, blue-collar dad Joe, pregnant Mom Mary, little Johnny and Aunt Ethyl as they react to the phenomenon.

The messages (which are never actually heard in the film) are simple appeals to humanity to be humane. The movie climaxes on a Sunday after six days of messages, people the world over crowd places of worship to hear the next message, and nothing comes. God is resting. It ends on a hopeful note as Mary gives birth to a daughter.

Remake it using social media. Everyone in the world with any kind of cell phone, online account, or email gets an identical message from God at the same time. The message has no traceable route. It just appeared. Follow several stories as the messages appear over the next six days. Spread it across the world. Might work better as a miniseries.

Might be a fun project. A great chance to examine the differences and commonalities in faith.
