At least Stone didn't get Michael Moore to write the screenplay.

I wouldn't count that out yet...

Incredible!The gift that keeps on giving!!

Back. And to the left.

Will anyone be gay?

[Uncledave]

There will be not one image of a bad Muslim in this film. The planes will have piloted themselves, presumably.

Will he film a scene of Todd Beamer's uprising? Not a chance.

[Joe 6-pack]

"But in the hands of Oliver Stone, this is a recipe for disaster."

I wonder if there will be a queer angle like Alexander.

working title: SCARF-FACE

Good one!

[Zeppelin]

Excellent. This will just make the left look even more foolish. Unlike Fahrenheit 9-11, this will have a real political effect. Especially in 06.

I don't know...as much as I like to see the left make idiots of themselves, this is one topic I really don't want to see cheapened any more than it already has been. But I knew this would happen someday. It was inevitable. Just not so soon. Oliver Stone is going to mess this up bad.

"There was another airplane on the grassy knoll?"

No, one airplane hit all three buildings. It's the "magic airliner" theory.

[CFC__VRWC]

So 9/11 was either the work of LBJ, the CIA, or the Mafia?

More like the work of Cheney, Halliburton, Rove and the Jooooooos, seeing that it's Oliver Stoned

Unfortunately for Stoned, I think he's going to to have a hard time selling any character played by Nicholas Cage as gay.

[Gunrunner2]

Who wants to bet the other role will be either a) a woman, b) a minority, or c) a combination of a & b.

Not denigrating the contributions of all that day, but let us hope Stone plays fair and correctly reflects the hero's' of the day, rather than try and pull as ploy like the statue (where they changed the ethnic makeup of the flag raisers).

Just my cynicism at work. . .

Will anyone be gay?

Stone will depict Rove and W as gay lovers.

[JZelle]

I watch a lot of movies and normally just let the political message go in one ear and out the other, but this is one I won't even touch.

[KimmyJaye]

It doesn't help either that they chose Nicolas Cage as the lead.

The man can't act! Plus he's down right ugly.

Another movie not to see.

[Young Werther]

Remember Tom Hank's movie "Big"? There was the scene where the toy developers were showing new toys for the coming season. There were buildings that changed shape like Transformers. Josh said that it was an innane idea 'cause no kid would want to play with a building!

Well, Stone will play with the Twin Towers and show how Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield made the building jump in front of those innocent terrorist's and aircraft!!!

[Ron in Acreage]

It'll show how Bush and Cheney were each flying the 2 planes that hit the towers and show them ejecting just before impact. You can see Halliburton embroidered in Cheneys chute. It will also show how Hillery was there on the ground saving dozens of people with no regard for her own safety.

[Mad Mammoth]

By the time that idiot Stone is finished, the movie may as well be based on the events of 11/9.

[dhs12345]

I can predict: a PC movie that doesn't blame the terrorists but blames America for 9/11 while exploiting the victims for money. Of course, there will be the two minute scrolling text tribute to the victims at the end of the movie.

I hope it is a flop.

[frogjerk]

I will bet that there will be at least ONE scene that will depict an arab man saving some racist-white man's life. He will also go out of his way to depict many of the victims as gay and lesbian.
