“Son of God” producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey have cast Satan out of their upcoming Biblical epic about Jesus Christ, an individual familiar with the 20th Century Fox project has told TheWrap.

“Son of God” is a reshaped version of last year’s hit History Channel miniseries “The Bible,” which co-starred Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni as Satan. Burnett and Downey came under fire last year because Ouazanni bears a striking resemblance to President Barack Obama, though the producers said at the time that the casting controversy was unintentional and merely coincidental.

[Va Lefty]

2. Tha actual prince of darkness

3. Because they did it on purpose originally, but now don't want to risk profits.

6. You are so right . . .

No way during the filming or editing process did someone not see that resemblance. Any filmmaker would have immediately re-cast that actor if there was no intent to generate "buzz" and harm the President.

Disgraceful. I won't be watching anything by Downey.

4. I hope it has a lot of gunfights and car chases.

5. And camels. Lots of camels.

10. Don't forget vampires

7. It's ok. I've already cut Son of God from my movie going list

so I don't care what they have done.

8. That was supposed to look like Obama?

Aside from the fact that the guy in the picture is black, where's the resemblance?

[CatWoman]

9. no, it was this

and I never had a problem with it. As a matter of fact, I got the DVD collection on Ebay for about $15.

11. the idea that god had a son with a human female...

... is equally as preposterous as Zeus birthing Athena from his skull.
