BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A producer who acquired rights to Richard Scrushy's story is planning a documentary about whether "foxhole Christianity" played a role in the fired CEO's exoneration in a huge fraud at HealthSouth Corp., an executive with the film company said Monday.
Marcos M. De Mattos, vice president of Gener8Xion Entertainment Inc., a small production company in Hollywood, said executives want to explore the role religion played in Scrushy's trial, which ended in his acquittal in June on charges of leading a $2.7 billion fraud.
"Our CEO was intrigued with the Richard Scrushy story," said De Mattos. "Did Mr. Scrushy turn to his faith because he was getting on the airplane, so to speak, or is he a true believer favored by God?"
