A reasonably big scoop from Adrian Chen at Gawker: "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.

At least one of them has a string of porn credits to his name. More: Boing Boing news archive for "Innocence of Muslims."
