Qatari firm in talks to make film about Prophet (PBUH)

DOHA: A film about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) backed by the producer of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Matrix’ is being planned with the aim of “bridging cultures”. Filming of the $150-million English-language movie is set to start in 2011 with American Barrie Osborne as its producer, said Qatari media company Alnoor Holdings on Sunday. The film – in which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would not be depicted – is in development and talks are being held with studios, talent agencies and distributors in the US and Britain, said Alnoor. Osborne told Reuters 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. Alnoor said it wanted to attract the “best international talent” to star in the movie. reuters
