Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2008: #15 Religulous

Date:

Religulous top 100

#15. Religulous

Director:
Larry Charles
Producers: Bill Maher, Jonah Smith and Palmer West (A Scanner Darkly)
Distributor: Lionsgate Films

The Gist: This follows Bill Maher as he travels
around the globe interviewing people about God and religion. Known for
his astute analytical skills, irreverent wit and commitment to never
pulling a punch, Maher brings his characteristic honesty to an unusual
spiritual journey.

Fact: Charles last directed: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

See It: It was the hottest reel property at Cannes and I’ve seen about 5 clip-sized portions of the film to vouch by this one: this flips religion over on its back. Get ready for the backlash!

Release Date/Status?: Lionsgate Films is releasing this June 20th.
