Terror Comedy Closer To Completion

Chris Morris' Four Lions project is "all but shot" and will be completed "well before the end of the year." What is Four Lions? Morris' feature film debut is a comedy about suicide bombers.

Morris's conclusion, according to the film's producers, Warp Films, is that it's a daft as well as a deadly business. "Even those who have trained and fought jihad report the frequency of farce," the company has said. "At training camps young jihadis argue about honey, cry for their mums, shoot each other's feet off, chase snakes and get thrown out for smoking … Terrorist cells have the same group dynamics as stag parties and five-a-side football teams. There is conflict, friendship, misunderstanding and rivalry. Terrorism is about ideology, but it's also about berks." Morris's project, they maintain, "understands jihadis as human beings. And it understands human beings as innately ridiculous."

This is obviously a "difficult" subject, but if anyone can pull it off, it is Chris Morris, who, it says here, is A LIVING GOD. If you're unfamiliar with his work, start digging around here and on the YouTube.
