According to several sources, Britney Spears is getting ready to star in a time travel film called The Yellow Star of Sophia and Eton. The flick would see her playing a character named Sophia LaMont who travels back in time to fall in love with a Jewish concentration camp prisoner named Eton. In a strange critique of ongoing anti-Semitism, the script ends with the lovebirds travelling back to the present day only to be killed by Nazis.
German Jews are in an uproar over this film. Charlotte Knobloch, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, has said she is horrified at the prospect of Britney making a Holocaust film. "In films that deal with the Holocaust, the script should be carefully chosen and the cast picked with care," Knobloch tells the German news outlet Bild. "It is reprehensible to combine the issue of the Holocaust with Britney Spears in an attempt to secure financing for this film.”
People really need to calm down. First of all, there is no actual confirmation from Britney’s camp that this film will indeed take place. Even if it does take place, one can’t judge a film until they see it.
