They're trying to make a movie about the life of the prophet mohammed (matrix and lotr movie producers). Thoughts?

The core elements are there but we need to bring it into the 21st century, make him a futuristic detective, sex it up a bit with an unrequited love interest (thinking Jessica Alba), buddy him up with a fresh-faced young comedian and plot it against a corporate titan who wants to overthrow the government by programming service-industry robots to attack their customers at a pre-determined date in the future by shooting lasers from their eyes.

Hmm, not liking that title. What if we swap out the Mohammed role with the corporate titan, make that the "good company" and pit him against an evil government and call it The Profit Mohammed?

Why limit ourselves? One has a peg to corporate mistrust, robots and futurism while the other is a broad comedy. We can do both. I have a feeling Westerns are going to come back unto vogue in 2011, so we could do a straight up period Western called The Good, The Bad and Muhammed.

Really? i'm muslim and i know muslims will FREAK OUT over this! some muslims do not like representations of any type (due to the threat of idolatry and also misuse of the image)...we have paintings hung up in the house and sometimes people say sadly to us that angels won't enter our house...so a whole movie seems like it will cause major probs. -*
[ Reply | Options ]yea seriously! im jewish and that was what I was thinking! I mean I know we have the 10 commandments and stuff (moses is depicted), but I know islam is very vehemently opposed to any sort of human representation (like that cartoon...remember the outcry??!?!), and I was surprised and shocked by this post. I hope it doesnt happen, i think its disrepectful to Muslims and I would be upset, and I am not even a Muslim, and I dont even believe Mohammad WAS a prophet!! (remmeber, Im jewish, no insult intended)
[ Reply | Options ]So do Catholics and still there are plenty of movies out there with God portrayed in some way.
[ Reply | Options ]so you mean watching "the passion of the christ" which depicts jesus is against your religion? all I meant is that I clearly know that depicting mohammed in any shape or form is against the "rules" of islam. We (jews) dont depict God in any form or drawing, it is a sin to do so. but if SOMEONE ELSE makes a movie depicting G-d or one of our prophets, that is their perogative. that is how judaism looks at it, and I thought christianity had a similar perspective. can you elaborate please?
