Paul Haggis deal: do Scientologists believe in coincidence?

By at 31 January, 2008, 11:07 am

I suppose that to posit that a  person of the Jewish faith had made a deal with a studio run by another person of the Jewish faith, and imply that their both being Jewish had anything to do with the deal being made, would sound Anti-Semitic.

So perhaps it would be wrong of me to point out that Haggis, a Scientologist, has made a non-exclusive first look deal at United Artists, the Studio affiliated with noted Scientologist Tom Cruise, and wrong to suggest that their affinity for one and another had anything to do with shared convictions, and was not solely based on Haggis’ ability and commercial viability. So let’s give them the benefit of doubt, and say that like anything else, they may have known each other, or known of each other not only through their works which everyone is familiar with, but also through their shared interest in Scientology which it is reasonable to assume they both knew about, and that each knew that they could contact each other, and were happy to find a way to be working together. There, I said it It was a happy coincidence.

Why is it that I’m afraid to even post this? Consider this a non-story, or perhaps better yet, a non-post.
