That’s not true, his recent spate of bad movies that have done horrible at the box office has him out of favor.

World Trade Center was made with controversy because it was his chance to get back in the good graces of Hollywood, if I’m not mistaken he had a tough time getting the nod to direct it.

There are other reasons that I have forgotten but Stone is definitely not someone who can get big budgets from a studio.

I meant to say that WTC was a NON controversial movie because Stone knew it was his chance to prove he could make a movie that would appeal to the masses.

Hollywood doesn't love Oliver Stone? Since when? LOL Not just anyone could have gotten funds to make "W". Stone is the activist film maker.

Never said anything about big budgets. Although his heyday is over, Stone will always be able to get funding for his films. Btw, Alexander had a huge budget and it turned a profit.

World Trade Center was actually a very good movie. Well done. Respectful.

A fluke, no doubt.
