"Son of God" won't be giving the devil his due — or rather, his screen time.
To avoid another controversy about the character of Satan bearing a physical resemblance to President Obama in the upcoming religious film, the filmmakers have gone out of their way to edit the devil's scenes out of "Son of God," which is based on the TV miniseries "The Bible."
"It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the devil is on the cutting-room floor," producer Roma Downey told the Hollywood Reporter. "This is now a movie about Jesus, the son of God, and the devil gets no more screen time."
