More4 risks US ire with Bush assassination film
Jason Deans, broadcast editor Thursday August 31, 2006 MediaGuardian.co.uk
Digital channel More4 will court controversy once again this autumn with a fictional piece, shot as a documentary, about the assassination of the US president, George Bush.
Death of a President seems certain to cause a furore on the other side of the Atlantic when it is premiered at the Toronto film festival next month.
In the UK the 90-minute film will be broadcast first on Channel 4's digital service in October.
The drama takes the form of a fictional documentary looking back at the assassination of Mr Bush in October 2007, after he has delivered a speech to business leaders in Chicago.
When Mr Bush arrives in the city he is confronted by a massive demonstration against the Iraq war and is gunned down by a sniper as he leaves the venue. The hunt for Mr Bush's killer focuses on a Syrian-born man, Jamal Abu Zikri.
Death of a President will use a combination of archive footage, CGI special effects and scripted scenes.
Actors play the fictional secret service agents and other aides who are with Mr Bush when he is shot and recall the incident in interviews recorded for the retrospective documentary.
Death of a President also looks at the differing viewpoints of the pro- and anti-Iraq war lobbies and the impact of Mr Bush's war on terror on the US.

A more likely scenario in Chicago would be getting killed by a drunken ILLEGAL while crossing the street - or standing on the sidewalk for that matter.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.....hit the snooze button and turn over for another 8 minutes libs, its only a dream.
A liberal wet dream.
They won't even produce a risque movie about Clinton but this they can make!
I'm going to guess, without reading the rest of the article, that the culprit is not the poor, put-upon Syrian but an evil Christian fundamentalist who did the deed because he felt the President wasn't being fascist enough.
They wish.
But if they want to show it in the US, they may meet some nice young men with sunglasses and earpieces.
Liberal film industry again rooting for the facists.
I tend to see the same pattern. How is it that Clinton got away with so much and yet they have decided that Bush is the worst thing to ever happen to America??? Absolutely baffles me. It's almost like they are blinded by hate.
People who indulge in this level of discourse have lost their right to participate in the conversation.
If I hear any man praising this film, I will break his jaw. If I hear any woman praising this film, I will pour a beverage over her head.
Any movie about the Bent One would probably co-star Traci Lords and Ron Jeremy, and garner an XXX rating.
Wasn't that True Colors movie a thinly veiled bust on Clinton?
I think we may actually need to wait to see what the film is really about, even though I suspect it is a hit piece, as it may be quite different then our initial reaction would reasonably assume given the track record of these types.
It's just my opinion, but I feel they would have more viewers if they did a fictional movie about broadcasters and the writers of phoney documentations being killed in various Hollywood styles. |
Let's make a documentary about Secret Service agents dispatching SWAT teams to arrest all these yahoos talking openly about assasinating our sittinng CINC.
It'll be less fictional than Moore's crock.
Not to mention cowardly. Liberals display a total lack of nads.
With roll models like Polanski, Allen, and tthe freak who made Powder, it's only natural to conclude that Toon was one of their own, a fellow evil, perverted, Commieweird.
I believe the movie was "Primary Colors," with John Travolta in the starring role as the Clinton character.
Put the IRS on this turkey and every dime associated with it for the rest of the producers and promoters natural lives (and beyond).
