A new feature film will be opening in the US, and the story may sound
familiar.
The Profit is about a science-fiction writer named L. Conrad Powers who
founds a religion, the Church of Scientific Spiritualism. The director,
an ex-Scientologist who turned against the church, says that the film is
entirely fictional, though some Clams are taking exception.
Provocatively, tHe film is opening in the town of Clearwater, Florida, which has a heavy
Scientology presence. (via Lev)
