Er zijn nog mensen die het aandurven religie op de hak te nemen in een film. Er is een Britse filmkomedie op komst. Het gaat over islamitisch terrorisme.
The first film, David Baddiel's new offering, The Infidel, tells the story of a middle-aged Muslim family man who discovers he was actually born a Jew. To try and make sense of this sudden identity crisis, Mahmud, played by Iranian-born comic Omid Djalili, seeks out his neighbour, a drunken Jewish cabdriver called Lenny. The hilarity that ensues is largely based around the Muslim and Jewish communities' deep misunderstanding of each other and how two flawed but instantly loveable characters learn to respect each other and their faiths.
The second film follows an even more controversial line. Chris Morris is renowned for tackling touchy subjects – there aren't many film-makers out there who can produce a spoof Panorama-style documentary about paedophilia that has people clutching their sides, but Morris did just that during his now iconic Brass Eye series.
Which is why, if anyone was to make a comedy about terrorism, he's probably the right man for the job.
Ik heb eigenlijk geen tijd het verder te lezen, komt later wel. Ik weet in elk geval niet precies waar het stuk over gaat, maar ik wou het vast even posten voor ik het vergeet.
