Epic Muhammad movie in pipeline


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.

The $150m (£91m) English language film should go into production in 2011.

Qatari media company Alnoor Holdings, which is behind the plans, said it wanted to attract the "best international talent" for the film.

"The film will educate people about the true meaning of Islam," Osborne said.

Raja Sharif, vice president of international projects at Alnoor, told Reuters he expected to conclude deals next year.

Should the news be correct and true...then I have to say *finally!*

We have all this money going around (in some Muslim countries)..and nothing was getting done...

I would love to have a movie about Rasulullah (saaws) and Islam beyond the strictly educational *Islam: Empire of Faith*...and the overly recommended *The Message*

Horns with such tunes blow every so often..we'll just have to wait and see if *this* tune will be substantiated with *tangible action*

Jazaka Allah Khair
