OK...we need to know why. What about the film do the Malaysian authorities object to specifically? Lee M 01:42, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

- In many Islamic countries, movies are banned if they depict prophets. Passion of the Christ was the exception to that rule CanadianCaesar 06:21, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
I recall hearing that PoE was going to be followed by other biblically-inspired movies if it was successful enough, which it wasn't. Does anyone have a reference for this? Wyvern 9 July 2005 08:05 (UTC)
- Judaeo-Christian content seems to be an exception to Hollywood's tendency to cash in on things. The Passion of the Christ was controversial, but financially speaking it was hugely successful. However Hollywood has stuck by its principles and not let the lure of money inspire them to "cash in" on religion. There was a film on Luther, but the major studios made little to no efforts at religious films since Passion. They're either on principle refusing to cash in on the sacred or on principle they're avoiding making films on Judaeo-Christianity due to their own general disbelief. Either way it's a rare, if strange, show of integrity--T. Anthony 08:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
