The producers of a controversial film about the Christchurch mosque attacks is being warned to think long and hard about the consequences of going ahead with it.

Newshub has obtained a leaked draft of the script, which describes the attack in graphic detail.

The Islamic Women's Council says the focus of the film should be on the victims rather than sensationalised drama.

Spokeswoman Anjum Rahman told Mike Hosking the producers don't seem to be considering the impact their film could have.

"What is the message that they're trying to send? For me, the danger is that it's going to inspire a lot more copycats. There's four internationally that I'm aware of."
