James Cameron may be king of the world, but his 3D throne is about to be challenged by someone with even more clout: God.

Yes, according to Deadline Hollywood, God, Adam, Eve and the whole gang are about to get the big-budget, 3D treatment thanks to Paramount, which is in the process of developing a blockbuster based on the Book of Genesis. The film, tentatively titled 'In the Beginning,' is being produced by former Walden Media honcho Cary Granat, who previously shepherded such Christian-themed fare as 'The Chronicles of Narnia' to the big screen.

Details are still sketchy -- for example, it's unclear yet whether the film will feature live actors or if it will be entirely CGI -- but test footage, based on a script from 'Hidalgo' writer John Fusco, is currently being shot in hopes of earning a green light for the projected $30 million project.

If the film proceeds as planned, it would be no doubt be heavily marketed to the same faith-based, Christian audience that made 'The Passion of the Christ' a surprise blockbuster back in 2004. And given the current box office premium 3D films are commanding -- 'Avatar's' record-breaking haul was inflated by higher 3D ticket prices, for example, and 'Alice in Wonderland' made over $11 million its opening weekend from IMAX alone -- the film's success seems likely, assuming it can deliver an attractive product on such a limited budget.

Of course, considering the cost of 3D animation these days, that would seem to be a tall order. But if there's anyone who can pull off a miracle, we're guessing God is probably the guy.
