Megan Fox In The Role She Was Born to Play: An NC-17 Mother Teresa

Hot on the heels of Simple Jack (the fake, controversy-baiting trailer from Tropic Thunder that was eventually yanked) comes the trailer for Teresa: The Making of a Saint, an NC-17 Mother Teresa biopic starring Transformers actress (and parrot lover) Megan Fox. But wait! Could this, too, be a fake trailer, what with its cast made up of Hollywood heavyweights like "Sir Ben Queensly"? Indeed, it's just the latest in Hollywood's brand-new obsession with fake ads for real movies, this one designed to draw buzz for the Vanity Fair-set roman à clef How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, starring Fox as actress "Sophie Maes." Forgive us, but we'd much rather see Teresa than the real movie it's designed to promote — especially if the saintly missionary arrives in Calcutta tossing off Diablo Cody-penned bon mots like, "Fried bologna is the bomb!"

Theresa: The Making Of A Saint official website of the film

Theresa: The Making Of A Saint follows the incredible story of Agnes, a beautiful young Macedonian woman growing up in a world torn apart by war. After receiving a message from God, Agnes travels to a remote nunnery to learn the ways of the Lord but, once there, her passions are aroused by a handsome young priest. These new feelings challenge her faith and threaten to destroy everything that she holds dear.

This internal struggle leads Agnes to face the most difficult decision of her life. Will she give in to the urges consuming her or will she forsake all others to serve her God? The decision she makes would change the world forever.

Brought to life by Sophie Maes (Before There Was One, The Large Bag), this cinematic masterpiece will reveal an unbelievable story of the woman behind the nun.

I don’t recall Mother Teresa had tattoos but I guess they will just cover them with makeup.

It would also appear, based on the above photo, that she had her eyebrows professionally done.

Is this someone’s idea of a joke? Ben Queensly? If so, I’m afraid I don’t get it.

Rather than funny, it seems almost pornographic.

[longtermmemmory]

clearly fake or written by illiterates.

There is no “macedonia” except that in northern Greece. The Former Yougoslav Republic of Macedonia was a fake history written by Marshal Tito in order to do a land grab.

Of course with the Russians invading Georgia and using the Kosovo as justification for the legalities, it is ironic this nun with makeup pic is even on the radar.

BINGO!!!

[trisham]

I’m not sure how many here know much about the actress in question, so I don’t know if they will understand my comment. :(

Ben Kingsley

I think that was the objective.

You have hollyweird pushing a “nun sex fantasy” under the artsy fartsy guise of NC-17.

[trisham]

Sorry, I think it's sleazy and disrespectful.

[trisham]

Oops. Sorry again. I misunderstood your post. I plead a sleep deficit. :)

You're very likely right.

[vladimir998]

I know nothing about the actress, but I watched the trailer. It’s supposed to be about Mother Theresa? WHo directed this nonsense? Satan?

[reagandemocrat]

Thanks for that reference.

Oh, I get the Queensly/Kingsly gag....what I don’t get is why anyone thinks it’s funny, or how anyone finds humor in Hollywood spoofing of Mother Teresa.

The Missionaries of Charity (Mother Teresa’s outfit) run a home here in LA, right under Hollywood’s nose, that cares for unwed pregnant teenagers, and they distribute food every weekend to the homeless—I’ve witnessed their good works. But Hollywood thinks that mockery and derision of the Sisters makes money.....

Hollywood should be ashamed of itself.

This thread is useless without pictures

[Oztrich Boy]

Geez, it’s only a movie

[bannie]

I don't think that she wore all of that make-up...of course, I'm just guessin'!

Olivia Hussey (Juliet) played her in a way I would consider a tad more realistic.

[markomalley]

The film is produced by "Oblivious Films"

"Oblivious Films???"

Captured in an article in the "Defamer??"

I think a couple of FReepers just got punk'd.

[longtermmemmory]

well then we need “punkers” who have a better knowledge of history.
