Paul Haggis, the director of Crash and In the Valley of Elah, allegedly resigned from the Church of Scientology. In a letter supposedly written by the filmmaker, he said he could not "be a member of an organization where gay-bashing was tolerated."
This is a reaction to the fact that the church supports Proposition 8, the controversial anti-gay ballot initiative in California.
Last week, Scientology celebrated its 25th birthday with celebrities such as John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and Katie Holmes. We doubt Haggis attended the festivities.
