By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 07:24 EST, 26 June 2012 | UPDATED: 10:30 EST, 26 June 2012 The script has not even been written yet, but a film disputing the immaculate conception of Jesus is already causing controversy. Paul Verhoeven, who worked on the 1992 film Basic Instinct, will direct the film which will suggest that Jesus is not the son of God and instead he was conceived after his mother Mary was raped by a Roman soldier. The film will be based on Verhoeven's 2010 book, Jesus of Nazareth, which discounts the events commonly attributed to the life of Christ.
