So I had this idea for a movie recently. Set in the near future the world has been devastated by religious conflict, millions of people are dying in an unending succession of wars and terrorist attacks on all sides. The sons of Abraham are lined up along some Middle Eastern desert facing each other with their arsenals of global annihilation. This is the last battle of mankind: Christians, Muslims, Jews all waiting to stamp their mark upon the last page of the history book. Not even Bruce Willis and an Aerosmith soundtrack is going to save the world this time.
And then just as the whistle is about to blow on 200 000 odd years of unruly homo sapien behaviour a trumpet sounds from the hills and out of the sunrise an army of Buddhist monks charge down to twat the living shit out of the war machines and teach the fleeing armies a lesson in arsekicking in the name of peace. We all live happily ever after.
It's kind of Fearless meets All Quiet On The Western Front with possibly just a touch of Dodgeball thrown in for the kids. Could work, I dunno, whadda ya think?

Meanwhile, the atheists watch all the children fight from a safe enclave, happy to be rid of all the arseholes who think it's all about the next world - or the next life - and not this one.
