Bin Laden lookalikes invited to audition on Sept 11

Film producers invited dozens of Osama Bin Laden lookalikes for auditions in Belgium on September 11.

They lined up in Brussels to try out for the role in Belgian director Rob Van Eyck's new movie Afterman II.

Van Eyck has admitted he chose September 11 for the casting of the film as a marketing ploy.

The filming of the £650,000 budget movie, which the director says is a parody full of black humour, is due to begin next year.

Van Eyck became known for his controversial movies after making a film about Belgian paedophile Marc Dutroux.

It was certainly insensitive to audition a movie on 9-11.

Not to mention the fact that they are encouraging a bin Laden industry that will resemble that of Elvis impersonators.

The movie is going to be a parody.  The
world.wide.weep isn't really worldwide anymore.
