Alnoor announced in 2009 that it was seeking financing for the film series, to be produced by Barrie Osborne, a Hollywood veteran of more than 40 years whose credits include "Lord of the Rings" and "The Matrix".
Mohammed himself will not appear in the films, out of respect for Islamic traditions forbidding images of the Prophet.
Prominent Qatar-based Sunni cleric Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, head of the Association of Muslim Scholars, will lead research on the film and serve as technical consultant on the project.
The company said the film will be in English and will be translated into several different languages "to correct the wrong image Western societies have of Islam."
Earlier this year, a US-produced low-budget movie called "Innocence of Muslims" that mocks Prophet Mohammed triggered a wave of deadly anti-US violence around the Islamic world.
