Thank you for that cruise on Canard Lines. After taking a brief survey, I find that my overall experience was (5) - Very Satisfied that you know how to conflate Eugenics with Natural Selection in a deliberate logical fallacy.
Science doesn't care what you believe.
Its subtitles Charlie Darwin and the beast Factory, or perhaps Charles Darwins Marvelous Adventure, or perhaps Chuck Darwin, Vampire Slayer.
well its still in development. ;-)
No, they plan on focusing on what actually happened.

You mean like christianity? Project much?
the voyage of the Beagle might make a decent adventure story, true. pity that most of his life --- and most of his important work --- would have to be summarized as a thirty-second, and very boring, epilogue just before the closing credits.
...?...??...???...??.??????? Some serious citations needed here. If you die an untimely death caused by your religious belief that the word of god will protect you because man was created to reign over all the animals, and you've tried to preach that to a grizzly bear, that'll only prove the foolishness of your belief.
Yeah, sure. And then they'll make a sequel, staring Jesus, that'll up the body count to about a couple billion or so.
Sure. And then they can make one about the hundreds of millions of people oppressed, robbed, raped, tortured and murdered in the name of your god via wars, inquisitions and adherence to biblical law. Of course they'll have to go on separate shelves since the Darwin film you propose would constitute a work of fiction (but then that's really the only genre with which you're familiar, isn't it?).
"Are they going to show how his theory was used to murder millions of people? and still is?"
Why would they want to show the millions of men, women (including pregnant women), children, infants, and animals slaughtered by your god in the Old Testament?
No, but maybe they can make a heartwarming family film about all the rightwing Christian fundies crying over the Confederate battle flag, South Carolina's decision to remove it and Wal Mart's decision to stop carrying it in the wake of the Dylan Roof shooting. They could have a rousing Disney song and dance number about how its all about heritage (of arpartheid, murder, slavery, oppression and bigotry), not hate, and maybe some really kewl talking animals--you know, like a racoon in a Confederate uniform. Maybe they could even digitally insert Uncle Remus, who can explain to a crowd of your fellow bigots how you just can't be a Christian if you fail to honor the Reb stars n' bars like a holy religious icon appropriately. And then maybe Rebel Racoon and Percy Possum can sing along with zombie Remus about most african Americans are actually awesome with the Rebel flag because this one guy on Facebook said he was, how African Americans were totally better off because of slavery, how the Civil War was totally about states' rights (to own slaves) and NOT slavery, and how the Roof Shooting totally had nothing to do with white nationalism and Roof was totally a stealth liberal, honest. Then the whole cast can gather together to lynch Lincoln's rotting corpse while singing the closing number. Maybe you'd like that better.
And are they also going to show how Hitler was a Catholic and was "following the will of the almighty creator"?
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
Adolf Hitler
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
