FauxFaith

Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes are planning to produce a number of films attempting to capitalize on the "gargantuan Christian audience." The cynicism and hypocrisy of the right wing robber barons know no bounds.

I wonder if "FoxFaith" will have offices next door to their porn division? And will it be run by Ned Flanders?

New Fox Unit to Produce Christian Films - Los Angeles Times

The company that brought TV viewers racy and irreverent programs such as "Nip/Tuck," "Temptation Island" and "The Simpsons" has found religion.

In the biggest commitment of its sort by a Hollywood studio, News Corp.'s Fox Filmed Entertainment is expected to unveil plans today to capture the gargantuan Christian audience that made "The Passion of the Christ" a global phenomenon.

The home entertainment division of Rupert Murdoch's movie studio plans to produce as many as a dozen films a year under a banner called FoxFaith. At least six of those films will be released in theaters under an agreement with two of the nation's largest chains, AMC Theatres and Carmike Cinemas.
