Hitchens, Wilson & Collision
Complete with a trailer apparently created by the bastard child of Errol Morris & Michael Bay (complete with vaguely-ethnic wail!), Collision is a film about/around/promoting the Hitchens v Wilson "'Debate' Tour". The "debates" addressed, in a manner of speaking, pedestrian topics such as the Existence of God, the Problem of Evil and cross-brand marketing strategies.
Their debates can be summarized as follows:
Hitchens: "Bad stuff happens."
Audience: "Yay!"
Wilson: "You can't say that."
Audience: "Yay!"
Still, a film which provides an in-depth and systematic (i.e. academic) breakdown of the issues along with an attempt at further developing the arguments probably wouldn't sell. And if there's one thing Believer-Wilson and Atheist-Hitchens can find in common, it's a love of the almighty dollar.
