Prophet Mohammed Film "The Messenger of Peace" To Be Made By Hollywood
"Hollywood producer plans Prophet Mohammed Film" reports that the second movie ever made about the Prophet Mohammed is in the works.
One has to wonder if this will cause the uproar that other artistic treatments of the Prophet have caused and how the critics will handle it.
"The Messenger of Peace" will be a remake of Moustapha Akkad's "The Message", a 1977 Hollywood classic starring Anthony Quinn which is often applauded by Muslims as an example of how commercial Western cinema can respect Islam.
Oscar Zoghbi, who worked with Akkad on "The Message," said he the "utmost respect for Akkad's work but technology in cinema has advanced since the 1970s and this latest project will employ modern film techniques in its renewal of the first film's core messages."
