Now there is a twist in the tale.
It transpires the news that Sam Bacile who was reported to have made the film did not make it and that it was made by Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is incorrect and that Sam Baicle was the same man as Nakoula!
And this man brought in a Porn Film Director,Alan Roberts, a 65-year-old who is listed as director on the film’s casting calls and call sheets from the summer of 2011, back when it was innocuously called Desert Warriors..
He’s the creative vision behind softcore porn classics like The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood.
This is the same Alan Roberts listed in IMDB as the director of a handful of softcore porn movies and other low-budget films, according to acquaintances we spoke to today.
“I am sure it was the same Alan Roberts, as I remember him speaking about this project,” said filmmaker David A. Prior, a longtime acquaintance of Roberts, in an email. Roberts is listed as a producer on two of Prior’s films, 2008’s Zombie Wars and 2007’s Lost at War.
“He did work on [Innocence of Muslims],” confirmed a man who was Roberts’ business partner in a post-production facility he ran, who asked not to be named.
The backstory behind how Roberts became director of Innocence of Muslims is still unclear, like so many things about the film. We’ve tried to reach Roberts, but his business associate told us he “turned off his phone” soon after protests broke out over the film and is laying low. But he said Roberts was “non-political” and did not have any apparent anti-Islam feelings. Roberts may have been duped by the film’s producer in much the same way as the rest of the cast and crew. They believed they were participating in a period piece about ancient Egypt and had no idea the movie would be edited and dubbed into a piece of Islamophobic propaganda..
“They redubbed it, they brought in the actors, put in new sounds, changed the names,” said the business partner. “And this was done later, before it was initially released. Of course Alan had nothing to do with it.”
An actress who worked with Roberts on Innocence of Muslims agreed that he had nothing to do with the political bent of the film.”
_Gawker.
Now one can understand the hurt sentiments of the Muslims.
With such a sleazy man directing sa sensitive subject as a Religious head, there is absolutely no question of being Creative.
Either it was made for the controversy it might create for the film to successful, or with the definite intent of hurting Islam.
As an aside I might add if one watches the Film of David Cameron ‘Apocalypto’, he will get the subtle message that the Ancient Civilizations were simply savages and that only the advent of Christianity has brought in Culture to them!
You can also get the same message in the Film ‘300’
