Confirmed: The Director of Innocence of Muslims Is a Schlocky Softcore Porn Director Named Alan Roberts

"The anti-Islam film that's set off a firestorm in the Middle East was directed by a 65-year-old schlock director named Alan Roberts, we've confirmed. He's the creative vision behind softcore porn classics like The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood.

An Alan Roberts is listed as director on the film's casting calls and call sheets from the summer of 2011, back when it was innocuously called Desert Warriors. Castmembers and crew told us yesterday that Roberts was brought on by producer 'Sam Bacile' aka Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, and he muddled his way through a disorganized three-month shoot.

Until the release of Innocence of Muslims, the 65-year-old Roberts has had an unremarkable career as a small-time director and editor. His directing credits include some softcore porn from the 70s and 80s like 1977's Young Lady Chatterly, The Sexpert and The Happy Hooker Goes to Hollywood, third of the Happy Hooker trilogy. (It's probably no coincidence that the cast included at least two porn stars.)"

NOTE: To be fair, the version he directed seems to have had nothing to do with Islam or its prophet. There is no indication at this point that Roberts bore or shared responsibility for the dubbing in post-production.
