Scientology is in the process of making a documentary about Louis Theroux

Louis Theroux has mentioned on his Twitter feed that lawyers for Scientology have informed him that the "religion" is making a documentary about him.

Interesting.

Brilliant>>I like Louis; I'd be great to see a biography about him

and funny to see what sort of sinister twist the Scientologists will put on it

or will it be only for their training purposes?

Interesting indeed.......

Sad feckers.

When is Louis' show about them due to come out?

God damn it I love Louis.

"Hi, how are you doing?"

RGDATA! · 23-04-2015 05:08PM

Louis is making his first feature length documentary about them, so this is typical of how they retaliate. Although it's been done to death at this stage I'll still be interested to see Theroux's take on them.

New challenge:

Since Scientology is constantly trying to muddy people's names, we should try and figure out what they try to allege Theroux has done.

I'm going to start the ball rolling with ... Theroux allegedly once accidentally uploaded a photo of his penis to Twitter.

I think they did the same thing during the BBC Panorama with John Sweeney.

Yea I love how Louis tackles things, he just asks fairly innocent questions with a bit of sarcasm and usually whatever he is making the documentary on speaks for itself and shows itself in a bad light by the reactions to his questions.

Ahh the "Church of Scammatology" the biggest duper of people on the planet. Seriously theyre a cult in all but name but people still fall for it

The majority of the people in the world are theists. So, yeah.

Surely Theroux has never done anything all that scandalous..? I mean apart from making really good documentaries, he's never done anything particularly interesting as far as I'm aware!

They'll probably have uncovered this:

Saville will be in there somewhere. They'll have Louis and Jimmy as buddies and former colleagues. They'll throw enough dirt at him that stupid or naive people (their target markets) will believe some of it.

I think they have a policy where anyone who speaks out about the church is known as 'fair game' which means they can do anything to bring the person down. I don't think its a moral issue for them to make stuff up and use it as fact.

I just heard that, I don't know if its true, so im just saying..... otherwise that would probably make me...... fair game :eek:

What's the chances one of them is reading this thread and is planning to dox us?

He managed to come out on top against Westboro Church, who are basically a family of lawyers so I'm sure he'll be grand when it comes to exposing Scientology whackjobs.

ok you got me, im a scientologist, sent here from xeno to check out what the people of boards think of us and to see who is a SP (suppressive person).

haha ah no seriously the auditing has really had a good impact on my life. Popepalptine just remortgage the house and send the money to the church and you will be high ranking level 4 in no time, you might even get to meet Tom Cruise :P

I would assume the BBC lawyers were behind him as well. Did the WBC try anything against him?

23-04-2015 06:04PM

This should be interesting. Hopefully he'll do a reaction video or something, that'd be pretty funny.

I like Theroux. Despite his quiet demeanour he really does have some stones dealing with some of the headcases he comes across.

Not sure but I know the auld fella, Fred Phelps was very pissed off about how Theroux presented him and the church. At the end of they day though they agreed to have him come in and make a documentary so I'm not sure there's much they could have done.

This threat from Scientology lawyers doesn't even seem serious. It's like something you'd hear in a school playground, akin to 'I know you are but what am I?!'

Kylo Ren · 23-04-2015 06:11PM

Louis should make a documentary about them making a documentary on him.

I can't get enough of his work, so I'd watch it.

jjbrien · 23-04-2015 06:28PM

Wonder will Tom Cruise be the presenter. Louis is brilliant. Did they ever make anything about the south park guys?

padd b1975 · 23-04-2015 06:32PM

I just know it's going to be pay per view, it's the way they like it.

Then they got to be getting Tom for that money. Hope Tom goes nuts like he did on Letterman and Oprah

It is a reflection of how much they value freedom of speech and thought.

myshirt · 23-04-2015 06:44PM

How come it's very difficult to source copies of When Louis met Jimmy, and When Louis met Max Clifford. They were pulled very swiftly from Netflix, never to return. Bad form.

tritium · 23-04-2015 06:45PM

Wow

Will it be on the Scientology channel?

Oh

I don't appear to have subscribed to that on my UPC

Oh well.....

Good point. Theroux admitted that his questioning of Savile should have been tougher, that said, he got closer than most to exposing Savile.

Any of you watch the recent HBO doc on Scientology? Well worth checking out.
