On Becoming a God
Kirsten Dunst In The Showtime Series
On Becoming a God in Central Florida is a savvy show created by Robert Funke and Matt Lutsky, which is set up for release in August on Showtime. The show features a slew of executives, including Academy Award-winning director Yorgos Lanthimos and George Clooney. Smokehouse Pictures and Sony TriStar Television are producing this series.
Kirsten Dunst leads a star packed cast with Alexander Skarsgard, and many more. Dunst plays a poor southerner who gets ahead of several billionaires who run a pyramid scheme that drove her family to poverty. On the winning end of this scheme, Dunst serves these billionaires in her original way. On Becoming a God is a fresh take on the mature satire genre, using violence and hi-jinx in concurrence with serious economic and political topics to create a fun contrast in the show’s design. This show has a sentimental and exciting feeling. Dunst’s performance looks moving and the plot couples good writing with a captivating story. The dark tone of the show is perfect for current political times, which indicates a wealth gap between poor and rich. The comedy is unique and has a family touch.
Dunst grapples with being a mother and surviving in an economically disparate region of the United States. Her personal struggles move with the tough lifestyle which is advertised in the American South. This amazing cast and producing staff sets up an innovative show which will catch eyes and pulls viewers from many television niches. Airing on August 25 at 8PM, this show will test boundaries and show a new side of Showtime that brings together the drama and production value of The Walking Dead with a new comedic tone of Better Call Saul.
