Since Mel Gibson's "Passion," no studio movies have been made celebrating traditional religious faith And here I thought for all these years that Hollywood's only faith was in money. Clearly they do have some principles they hold higher than cash, and some audiences they won't stoop to go after. Who'd a thunk it?

The script received great feedback but encountered a stumbling block when creative executives expressed concern that our Muslim terrorists "weren't sympathetic enough." They wanted us to "explain the terrorists' motivations more." Hollywood didn't have a problem with "explaining the terrorists' motivations" when the terrorists were right-wing militia members in Arlington Road. The flaw of the movie, as a matter of fact, is they build up a great storyline, and then cop out and depict the terrorists as just nutters. Derek
