Qatar’s big budget answer to anti-Islam film? $1 billion Prophet Mohammed movie!
A movie series on the life of Prophet Mohammed with a budget of $1 billion has been planned by a Qatar-based firm, AFP news agency reported on Tuesday.
Alnoor Holding has said it will raise the budget for the planned production to $1 billion from the $1.5 million announced three years ago.
The biopics will be produced as a series of “seven films – instead of three films as per an earlier announcement – with a total budget of US$1 billion”, Alnoor chairman Ahmed Al-Hashemi said in a statement received by AFP on Tuesday.
The company said “the team of experts has finished writing the scenario after overcoming numerous artistic and dramatic challenges”.
The company said the film will be in English and will be translated into several different languages “to correct the wrong image Western societies have of Islam.”
