Battlefield Earth: Film Dogged by Links to Scientology Founder: “Controversy has swirled around the film because it is based

on the 1982 novel by L. Ron Hubbard, who founded the

Church of Scientology, and because the film was the pet

project of Mr. Travolta, who has made no secret of his

dedication to Scientology. Could this be a sneaky attempt to

lure unsuspecting moviegoers into Scientology?” [New York Times]
