“Stone’s next project following his 9/11 drama “World Trade Center” was expected to be a film about the CIA’s attempts to capture Al-Qaeda kingpin Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.”
Stone’s a 9/10er, longing for the old comfortable paradigms. Making the relevant WTC was a strain on him. He’s good at paranoid stuff, I’d like to see him do something about FISA just to see the dramatization of Gonzales at Ashcroft’s bedside.
Oliver Stone tried to get funding for a political film for 1988 release that would “bring to light” George HW Bush’s “involvement” in Iran-Contra.
That was probably the motive behind making the Bin Laden film too. If he can’t get it completed and released in time to sway the election, he doesn’t feel these films are worth doing.
A rotten propagandist and opportunist, nothing but.
