From The Matrix to the Lord of the Rings to….a $150 million Hollywood biopic film about the Prophet Muhammad?
Yup, you read it correctly…
As reported recently by The Guardian newspaper in the United Kingdom, “[Academy Award-winning] producer Barrie Osborne cast Keanu Reeves as the messiah in The Matrix and helped defeat the dark lord Sauron in his record-breaking Lord of the Rings trilogy. Now the Oscar-winning American film-maker is set to embark on his most perilous quest to date: making a big-screen biopic of the prophet Muhammad.”
With a whopping estimated budget of around $150 million, the blockbuster film will chart Muhammad’s life and examine his teachings.
Mr. Osborne recently told Reuters that he envisions the movie as “an international epic production aimed at bridging cultures. The film will educate people about the true meaning of Islam.”
