From the Guardian, Paul Bettany on his upcoming appearance in the film adaptation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion:
"I'd love to make a movie that shakes the world and offends people, but I really," he says, with a slow shake of the head, "didn't think it was going to be this one. I think next to The Last Temptation of Christ it's Tonka Toys. Nobody seemed to get offended by Martin Scorsese's movie, no one seemed to get offended when Francis Coppola made a movie where he suggested that the mafia and the Vatican were in cahoots. Nobody picketed that."
Actually Paul, people were offended by and picketed both of those films. However, even they were less offensive than the one you're in, because they were explicitly fiction. Still, nice try.
