Not sure if this among the better ideas I've heard out of Tinseltown in awhile:

LOTR producer attached to feature film depicting the life of the Prophet Muhammad.

Strict Islamic religious interpretations say it is prohibited to depict Muhammad in a human form, an injunction that artists have ignored to their peril.

Author Salman Rushdie, for example, was for many years the target of a fatwa, or Islamic religious ruling, calling for his death for his depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in his book "The Satanic Verses."

More recently, the artists responsible for drawing cartoons in a Danish newspaper depicting Muhammad were threatened by some Islamic scholars with death.

Previous movies about the early days of Islam, including the 1976 film "The Message" starring Anthony Quinn, skirted the prohibition by featuring Muhammad's uncle Hamza as the main character in the drama.

Personally, I think I'll stay away from the controversy and continue with my religous-based NaNoWriMo entry:

If you meet the Buddha on a road, hit him in the face with a cream pie.

Wonder how "true" it will be. Will they include his 9 year old wife, in every sense of the word? Heh.
