Nov 2 2009 'Matrix' Producer Working on $150 Million Muhammad Epic

Who better to handle the delicate subject of Islam's Prophet Muhammad than a producer on The Matrix, Face/Off, and Alien Dragon vs. Vikings: The Movie? No one. He's obviously the best choice to help make something with so much potential for angry, violent responses. So let's go ahead with this (Thanks, Sharkey):

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.

I wonder who's going to not play him...
