According to BBC News, a movie about the Islamic prophet Muhammad is in the works. The site has this to say:
An epic movie about Islam’s Prophet Muhammad is in the pipeline, backed by a producer of the Lord of the Rings.
American Barrie Osborne, who also produced The Matrix, told Reuters the film would be an “international epic” aimed at “bridging cultures”.
In accordance with Islamic rules, the Prophet cannot be depicted on screen. Images of the Prophet are considered blasphemous by Muslims.
Interestingly, the movie is not mentioned on Osborne’s Imdb page, but a 2010 movie called “Kingdom Come,” a biblical epic focusing on the life of Jesus, is mentioned. Looks to us like Osborne’s new religion is box office dollars.
