If your household is anything like mine, you sometimes check what’s playing at the local movie theater and ask, “Why aren’t there more movies being made by Rick Santorum?”<\/p>\n
Well, we’re in luck. The former senator is going Hollywood<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rick Santorum is in early talks on a movie project with Hollywood producer Stephen McEveety. <\/p>\n Rumors have been buzzing throughout Harrisburg that Santorum was connecting with McEveety, who produced Mel Gibson blockbusters such as “Braveheart,” “The Passion of the Christ” and “We Were Soldiers,” on a project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Santorum seems anxious to steer clear of the star McEveety has worked with. “I am not doing anything with Mel Gibson,” Santorum said. “I am doing something with a movie project, but it is in the very, very early stages of the project. The only Gibson connection is that the guy that I am doing this with used to work for Gibson, but he does not now.”<\/p>\n How do you know when a prominent, conservative public figure is really<\/i> controversial? When Rick Santorum doesn’t want anything to do with him.<\/p>\n Of course, this McEveety\/Santorum production isn’t just some vague collaborative idea; they apparently have a specific story in mind. At the Pierre Hotel recently, the pair was discussing a film “to be released in October of 2008 in order to influence the November election.”<\/p>\n From what our eaves dropper could tell, it’s about “Three Iranian brothers . . . One comes to the U.S. as a terrorist.”<\/p>\n Santorum and Mc Eveety didn’t return calls for comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m not particularly inclined to believe the New York Post’s “eaves dropper,” but the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review confirms that Santorum’s movie will follow “three Iranian brothers who take disparate paths in their lives, including one who becomes a terrorist.”<\/p>\n
