Religion and filmland

I have previously made some comments about religious topics/ film-names chosen by Hollywood like the ones that depict the life directly or indirectly of Jesus Christ PBUH
 Muslims have been forbidden to make stories for drama or film of prophet Muhammad SAWS and in a way it is good as it keeps Muslims from entering into this project which can take any form good or not so good and even contemptible.
 However the Christians are free and seem to walk freely in this 'land' with some good and many disastrous results. (some undertakings that were rightly suppressed, like the one suggesting homosexuality, astaghfirullah) and then you are familiar with Da Vinci's Code movie.
 Now I hear another one "Son of God" coming in soon and the controversy has started already.
I hear words like
 "There is money to be made"
 That is the whole motivation and it is not expensive to make such movies.  It is ridiculous that you praise a person giving him so high a position to call him God or son of God and then drag him down to such low human level and choose a handsome white man to pose as such "person". It seems a  despicable idea to me to make 'money' on the religious emotions of the people, and you have freedom to disagree with me. I hear
"That is a powerful story" (Reason for making it into a movie).
So all your religious beliefs are a just a "powerful story"?
