New movie 'J6' to depict Capitol riot
The Hill ^ | 01/20/22 02:57 PM EST | BY JUDY KURTZ

The deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol is reportedly poised to get the Hollywood treatment as the subject of a “harrowing and terrifying” feature film.

Billy Ray, who directed Showtime’s 2020 miniseries “The Comey Rule,” is spearheading “J6,” Deadline reported Thursday.

The screenwriter — who said in a tweet last year that he planned on telling the story of some of the Capitol Police officers who responded to the riot — touched down in Washington days after the attack by a mob of Trump supporters, and interviewed some of the lawmakers and law enforcement officials who lived through it, according to Deadline.

J6

Oooh....even with a slick title that makes it cool and gives it a sort of "sci-fi vibe".

This will be a laugher of a flop. Nobody is going to watch it who isn’t already afflicted by TDS. It will be preachy, boring, and condescendingly transparent as a two hour campaign ad masquerading as a movie.

It’ll be like that TV movie the sycophants made years ago to demonize the Branch Davidians and cover up the crimes of the murdering ATF.

J6 will be even zanier than “Airplane”. Nancy Pelosi: “Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.”

"the deadly January 6th riot"

There is that obligatory word "deadly" again, which falsely implies that the rioters killed people.

Definitely going to be a leftist view of it and one that will get Pelosi’s seal of approval.

"J6" is probably intended to evoke associations with "9/11".

Sure they will, but the gullible leftist types weren't going to vote GOP anyway. And the rest of the country is rightly rather sick of the whole thing.

There is plenty of real film of it.

Almost all of it shows one of the lamest riots ever. The worst that happened was breaking windows (of the Capitol, Indeed). The only actual death was a “rioter” during one of those inner window-breakings.

Otherwise there was a lot of milling and walking around, taking photos of statues, sleeping in the Rotunda, and a few guys wandering around some of the chambers.

Boring of accurate.

If it’s exciting, that means it’s inaccurate.
