The comedian said he wants to poke fun at Islamic terrorism in the same way Dad's Army laughed at Nazis.
He told The Times: "Most of us would dearly love to laugh in the face of our worst fears. Why aren’t we laughing at terrorists? Because we don’t know how to, until now.
"I don’t plan for this film to be offensive, but I do want it to be very funny. I accept, though, that some may find poking fun at terrorists offensive.
"There is this Dad’s Army side of terrorism and that’s what this film is exploring.
"This film will hopefully get over that terrorists do what we all do.
"They discuss the mundane, and plan things that sometimes then go wrong. People, that is viewers, are longing to laugh at terrorism."
The script for the film has been produced by writers of the BBC political satire The Thick Of It.
Morris, who sparked controversy with a Brass Eye episode on the subject of paedophilia in 2001, will not appear in the film.
