Nick Love Banned From Filming In Church
British director Nick Love has been banned from shooting his new movie in an English church, because a local priest objected to the violence in his previous films.
Love wanted to shoot vigilante film Outlaw - starring Bob Hoskins and Sean Bean - in St Briavels Church in Gloucestershire, western England.
Sean Bean barred from church in Outlaw
But The Rev Nick Bromfield refused after watching Love's last film The Business - about a young boy who runs away after killing his violent step-father and becomes a drug-dealing gangster.
The Rev Bromfield says, "The Business has appalling language and violence. It's gratuitous, random and brutal.
"There is violence, revenge and tragedy in Shakespeare. But there is usually redemption, justice or a way or working out a tragic flaw in character. I didn't see that with The Business.
