A bash-Bush opportunity?
If the movie is about the gruesome reality of war and the brutality and duplicity of the enemy, it will do well. If it is a blatant, Anti-American, ant-war at all costs, flick... It will flop, and Hollywood will sit there blinking wondering why Americans don't buy their crap.
I read the headline..my first thought was "Michael Jackson?"..WTF??? but considering where Hollyweird is these days, it's plausible, no?
It'll be Jackson's best movie since "The Man!" Wait, that's not saying much.
HOME OF THE BRAVE casting news
Jackson, Mendez & Presely Get Brave!
Date: December 8, 2005
Source: Production Weekly
According to Production Weekly, Samuel L. Jackson, Eva Mendez and Brian Presley are set to star in the feature Home of the Brave for Irwin Winkler to direct.
The film follows three soldiers who are returning home after a lengthy tour in Iraq, and find that re-entering "normal" life after the continued trauma of battle is not an easy task.
Jackson will play a doctor who has been stationed in Iraq for several months. After months of holding it together on the homefront, his wife is thrilled when he returns to his home and his regular practice. However, the man she sent away to war is not the same man that has returned. To her shock and dismay, her husband is rapidly unraveling before her eyes.
Filming is set to begin late February in Spokane, WA and Morocco.
(End of story.)
I don't hold high hopes for this.
