You didn’t read the article.
“The 53-year-old Emmerich admitted that the original screenplay called for a sequence in which the Kaaba disintegrates to dust but realized that such a scene could result in the end of his professional career, if not his demise.”
I did read he article - but I still contend there is a huge difference between not showing something being destroyed and showing something standing when all else is destroyed.
Seriously - this is what you people have to get upset about?
This is NOT in fact a Christian nation, and it is pure folly to expect society at large to respect and defend the Truth. Hollywood will never, as a whole, accept, defend, or promote the Truth. Why do people allow themselves to get upset when a secular entity acts ... secular?
