The comedy director who gave us such immortal movie lines as “Oh stewardess, I speak jive” and “Don’t call me Shirley” is now leveling his sights at documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.
David Zucker, the director and writer who helped create “Airplane!” and “The Naked Gun” franchise has called on Hollywood’s tiny but tightly knit Republican A-list crowd to help him make a broad yet unusually right-leaning political satire titled “An American Carol.”
The low-budget indie co-stars Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer with Oscar-winner Jon Voight, cinema icon Dennis Hopper, model-heiress Paris Hilton and frequent Zucker stooge Leslie Nielsen in minor roles. Release is planned sometime by year’s end; the director suggested Friday, Sept. 12, to coincide with the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Zucker and his associates have been keeping the film under fairly tight wraps for months. When hyping the usual casting updates to showbiz trades, those associated with the production would only describe the movie as “a spoof of ‘A Christmas Carol’ and contemporary American culture,” avoiding any mention of its political perspective.
Zucker had, however, mentioned the project to a handful of reporters and talk radio hosts, telling one columnist at the Wisconsin State Journal, “It outdoes any movie I have ever done in tasteless, offensive, un-PC humor.”

james woods is another one i believe.
... me too, the last movie i went to was some Bat Man movie about some Joker.
Need you ask?
I’m there.
Where can I obtain advance tickets?
Oh yes James is another favorite of the right though he might not be much of a social conservative. Dennis Miller also.
Bruce Willis is a Republican though I don’t think he advertises it much lately. Drew Carey is another libertarian conservative type. Then there are the “GOP babes” whose pictures someone compiled on the web. Besides Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and the talking heads, that list included actresses like Janine Turner and Bo Derek.
The whole movie was awesome. I laughed till I cried at the scene where the people land on the giant pigeon statue and piss on it, and it takes a huge dump after they take off.
james woods is another one i believe.....
Yes....Along with Tom Selleck.
We need to post the “short list “ of all conservative actors.....
And who can forget:
Take him to DETROIT!
Excellent. It’s about time.
Timed to come out prior to the election too, lol.
Isn’t there a law against that.
Breaking News: NYTimes will not publish ads for tickets.
Some conservative musicians who are not afraid to let people know...Ted Nugent and Charlie Daniels.
The only movie worth seeing in the last three months is “Mongol”. As soon it gets nearby I’ll see it. Nothing from Hollywood sucks me in any more. No surprises anymore. I can predict most of the plot twists and many of the plots are re-dos. The actors are boring and don’t become the characters
Christian Bale was great in “Shaft” but I refuse to be bored by a Batman movie. I’m too old for that garbage
Good news!
“It outdoes any movie I have ever done in tasteless, offensive, un-PC humor.”
Go for it Mr. Zucker!
I hope your movie is good and funnny enough to become known as: The “Blazing Saddles” of the 21st Century.
NO!!!! Not that!!!!Anything but detroit!!!!!
There, I fixed it...my husband wants to watch Airplane every time it comes on TV, LOL! Fortunately, I designed our house with a living room with a TV and what we refer to as the "ball room"...a 14 X 27 room where the guys hang out, play video games and watch sports that has 3 TVs...so we don't argue any more about what to watch.
