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.

This reminds me of an episode of South Park.

Or was it Family Guy?

I'm thinking South Park.

And technically it was both, the South Park episode about Family Guy.

Clearly inspired by that new Comedy Central show, Secret Girlfriend. Everyone will just talk to the ever-silent camera-man

I had the same thought myself.
