A man who identified himself as Sam Bacile says he is responsible for the movie
A CNN search of public records turns up no information about the man
Bacile is a pseudonym, says an anti-Muslim activist who worked on the film
The cast and crew of the movie say their original lines are dubbed

(CNN) -- The murky account of a man who says he is responsible for a film that ridiculed the Prophet Mohammed is raising questions about everything -- from his identity to the production.

In telephone calls with news agencies, a man identifying himself as Sam Bacile said he was the man who made the movie that roiled the Islamic world.

In Egypt and Libya, mobs targeted U.S. missions and blamed America for the film. In the end, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans in the Libyan city of Benghazi were dead, though it is not clear whether the attack was solely incited by the film.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bacile identified himself as a 52-year-old Israeli-American real estate developer from California.

But the 80 cast and crew members involved in the making of the movie said they were "grossly misled" about its intent. "The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer," they said in a statement to CNN. They said they were "shocked by the drastic rewrites of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."
