I agree that the changing the book is not my favorite thing that Hollywood does - but their move accidentally made the movie a little more "close to home." I mean it wasa wrtten and filmed well before 9/11.

Benn Affleck on Good morning america:

SAWYER: And yet a lot of people are saying, 'Is there such a thing' — nuclear weapons, somebody desperately trying to get people to heed what's going on here. Is there such a thing as too real, too scary, too close to the bone?

AFFLECK: Yeah, I know. It's and I don't know what the answer is to that question, really. I mean, I know that, you know, we shot the movie and wanted to make a kind of smart, adult, political thriller and we made it last year. And, you know, at the time, it was just that, an escapist, political thriller. And then the whole, sort of, world changed, and the movie now has turned into a drama, you know, in a weird way without us having changed anything.
