Thy Kingdom's ComingThy Kingdom's Coming takes a hilarious and biting look at Hollywood and political censorship movements. Action movie hero Thy Kingdom's ComingDerek Johansen, along with his personal assistant, producer and screenwriter, believe that their new film concept will take them down the road to superstardom and megabucks. This Hollywood quartet, convinced that an action movie based on the Bible will break box office records, are soon faced with the dilemma of translating the Bible's words of wisdom into sound bites, freeze frames and promotional trailers.

Additional troubles are faced due to the possible objections that leaders of conservative religious groups or political censorship campaigns may have with this artistic venture.

Thy Kingdom's Coming is an adult comedy containing language which may be offensive to some audience members.

Written by PRTC Founder and Executive Director Jeff Daniels and directed by T. Newell Kring, the cast of Thy Kingdom's Coming included Wayne David Parker as Derek Johansen and Guy Sanville as his personal assistant, Crash Baker. Phillip Locker portrayed the producer Gordon Wessler and Anthony Caselli played the screenwriter Gerald Maruskin.
