Santorum involved in Iranian movie project

Santorum involved in movie project
By Tribune-ReviewTuesday, June 19, 2007
"Rick Santorum is in early talks on a movie project with Hollywood producer Stephen McEveety.
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.
"I am not doing anything with Mel Gibson," said Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Penn Hills who now is a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative Washington think tank. ...

Producer Steve McEveety worked on some very spectacular movies. ... He is extremely talented, and I am looking forward to working with him."
The story follows three Iranian brothers who take disparate paths in their lives, including one who becomes a terrorist.
At this point, Santorum's project doesn't have a title, and no decision has been made on where it will be filmed and whether it could end up giving the Pittsburgh area's film industry a boost. "


How would this movie portray Iranians? I hope Cyrus Kar, Abbas Milani, and Azar Nafisi et al contact their friend, Steve McEveety and offer their help in making this movie.
