> I don't like the idea of hollywood making money off this film.

I would be most interested to learn what Hollywood intends to do with its profits from this movie.

I'd like to see a large slice of the gross takings (now *there's* an appropriate term!) go to a 9-11 charity.

When should I stop holding my breath, d'ya think? This is why I am of two minds on the subject.

Hollywood is very good at cooking the books. They can make most movies look like they were money losers. "Oh, we had planned to donate all of the profits to 9-11 causes but we didn't even break even on this. Sorry."

I would imagine they would keep them. Since they took the risks and invested the capital, after all.

Hollywood doesn't profit. Depending on the contracts, the people that front the production with their money do.

Rush Limbaugh has seen the pre-release version and said it was well done. Accurate? How can anyone know for certain? But it should be shown as a reminder of what we face.
