Martin Sheen has gotten a lot of practice making life and death decisions recently while portraying President Jed Bartlet on the TV show "The West Wing." Hopefully, these pressure-filled decisions will help him with his latest project.

Sheen is reportedly set to play an Irish monk who tries to save the world from the Armageddon as described in the Bible and foretold by Saint Malachy to occur shortly after the reign of John Paul II. The recent events around the world make this project a delicate one at best, but the producers stand behind their movie and reassure everyone that the movie will be made since the primary financial backing is from European sources.
