I'm going with "not".
Budgeted at around $150m (£91.5m), the film will chart Muhammad's life and examine his teachings. Osborne (producer Barrie Osborne of The Matrix and LOTR V) told Reuters that he envisages it as "an international epic production aimed at bridging cultures. The film will educate people about the true meaning of Islam".
I'm betting a dollar it obfuscates more than it teaches.
There will be no mention of the treachery implicit in "hudna" and how Mohamed used it to treacherously attack his enemies. He gave a cease-fire when he was losing until he was strong enough to win, and then struck, the model for all the hudnas since. A temporary truce until the Moslems are ready. Like Hamas gives to Israel whenever they're suffering from too many leaders blown up by the IDF syndrome.
There will also be no mention of a 9 year old bride. If there is an Aisha, she'll be a young looking 18.
They will almost definitely mention that Mohamed used to pray facing Jerusalem but changed because of the dastardly Jews.
And they'll ignore stuff like jizya or dhimmi or anything that might make Islam look bad or end up with theaters being blown up.
And the funniest part? They'll make it as saccharin and pro-Islam as they can without saying that Mohamed wrote the Constitution, the Magna Carta and the $1 menu at McDonald's and they'll still get a fatwa and be the subject of Friday prayers from Dearborn to Mecca.
Updated with title, I couldn't think of one and forgot one so I just stuck that lame one in there.
Further update
I stand correct
Quote
In accordance with Islamic law, the prophet will not actually be depicted on screen.
Saccharine and useless.

That is hilarious. How do you have a whole movie about someone and not show the main character once? This is madness!

Hm. Think I'll go with "not" as well.
And this: "Like Hamas gives to Israel whenever they're suffering from too many leaders blown up by the IDF syndrome" was an awesome turn of phrase.

I began to know about the moncler jackets moncler jackets on sale was from the story of it! Now come with me ,and enjoy the story, and the meaning lesson as well. Once upon a time the different color of jackets started to quarrel, because all moncler jackets sale cheap wanted to be the the favorite, the most useful, most important. Red: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the warmth of life and of hope. I make the winters warmer. Blue said: I am the basis of life moncler jackets online sale and the symbol of the clouds from the deep sea. Yellow: You are all wrong! I bring laughter, into the world. All these jackets are boasting.
