Bill Maher's Religion Documentary aims for Easter Release Date |
/FILM - Natick, MA, USA - Bill Maher revealed to Larry King that the documentary he filmed with Larry Charles (Borat) might be called “Religulous,” a combination of religion and ridiculous. The film follows Bill Maher’s take on the current state of world religion, which is clearly an Agnostic view. We don’t know much else, because, well - no one has seen the footage yet.
“I hope people laugh. We’ve shown ten minutes. That’s all we have so far, we’re still cutting it together. But the ten minutes we’ve shown, and I’ve seen it shown to audiences twice, they laugh so hard because the topic of religion is just so inherently funny. I mean, politicians are funny because they promise things that they can never deliver on. And the gap between what they promise and what they deliver is great fun for humor - for people like Mark Twain to people of our own day have demonstrated. What religious people promise: Your own planet? [Laughs] C’mon, that’s a little beyond social security!”
