The Sum of All Fears was a nauseating eample of political correctness ruining good material. I am working on some pro-US projects - have to find outside financing, Hollywood will never put up the money.

I did manage to squeeze a nice pro-military parade into my upcoming comedy, “Witless Protection,” starring Larry the Cable Guy. It opens in theaters Feb. 22.

Why won’t Hollywood want to make gobs and gobs of money on a block buster. Americans would love a wonderful rip roaring action pack pro-American movie. It’s a shame you have to find outside financing.

Do you think Sony will make money on Errol Morris Helming’s Abu Ghraib documentary? I wonder if stockholders can sue these production companies for purposefully choosing money losing films? Hollywood has failed the US since 9/11. Many times when I chat with foreigners they use the American film as a glimpse into our society, life and war on terror. Hollywood is not what it used to be. I am glad you are here at FR to help us understand why. BTW I am looking forward to seeing that pro-military parade!

“Talented filmmakers like Cyrus Nowrasteh (ABC’s “The Path to 9/11”), Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Robert Avrech (”Body Double”), novelist and screenwriter Andrew Klavan (Clint Eastwood’s “True Crime”) and actor Robert Davi (”Profiler”) have all tried to get pro-war projects made these past three years, and have all been turned down by the Hollywood system.

Even superstar Bruce Willis has tried to get a film made about the famed “Deuce Four” battalion serving in Iraq - but has gotten nowhere with the studios.”
