Matrix producer makes film on Prophet Muhammad


Barrie Osborne, part of the Oscar-winning team behind the Lord of the Rings films, says the new production 'will educate people about the true meaning of Islam'

The producer of The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix has discussed spending $150 million on making a movie about the Prophet Muhammad.

“Filming of the English-language movie is planned to start in 2011 and is destined to create a blockbuster for the world's 1.5 billion Muslims, with Barrie Osborne as its producer, “ Almoor Holdings, a Qatari media company, said.

Osborne told Reuters that the film would be an "international epic production aimed at bridging cultures".

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

The company said it hopes to attract the "best international talent" to star in the motion picture.

p/s:So far, the best documentary that I've watched about our beloved prophet is, Muhammad:A Legacy of a prophet.I wonder how this film would be. I really-really hope Barrie Osborne knows what he is trying to do. Hopefully, he does mean his statement when he says this film is to educate the people about the true meaning of Islam.
