Dutch politician Geert Wilders (who labels himself a "Freedom Fighter" on his website) is planning a sequel to his controversial anti-Islam film Fitna, to be released in 2010.
In an interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf published on Thursday, Wilders revealed some of his upcoming cinematic plans.
"It will not be a copy of Fitna. This is the second phase,' he told the newspaper. "I now want to show the consequences of mass immigration from Muslim countries."
Wilders claims to have been contacted by professional filmmakers based "in New York and Hollywood," who offered their services to shoot the sequel.
Wilders, who leads the Freedom party, was blocked from entering the U.K. in February to screen Fitna in London and speak to the House of Lords.
Britain's Home Office denied the Dutch legislator entry on the grounds that his visit could endanger public security.
In March 2008, the internet release of Wilders's approximately 15-minute film Fitna sparked protests in Muslim countries and widespread condemnation worldwide.
The short film blends violent, graphic images of terrorist attacks with quotations from the Qur'an.
Wilders told De Telegraaf the sequel will tackle issues such as free speech and Shariah law.
