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.

I watched that DVD. It was great!

This pre-convicts the accused and they have not even been afforded a trial yet. This would be grounds for dismissal on all counts. And they have grounds for a civil suit even from prison.

Scenes of horror as people in MAGA hats force liberal congressmen to dig their own graves, lie down in them and are then shot by the MAGA gunmen. And then the gunmen all sing “America the Beautiful” afterwards.

“The deadly Jan. 6 riot.....”

Read no further as you know how the story will go.

I expect nothing less.

Will the movie “depict” those heavily armed rioters breaching the gates, storming the Capitol building, ducking and shooting, trampling the Cap Police?
I think that we all know the story. Forget “J6!”

They’ll have to make up stuff to make it watchable. Nazi Torch marches, AK’s, Klansmen leaving from the White House after getting orders from Trump.

[BatGuano]

The only thing that “the accused” are guilty of is poor judgement, VERY Poor Judgement!

[Howie66]

I wonder if they will show the murder of Ashli Babbitt at the hand of Michael Leroy Byrd?

[AppyPappy]

You mean the lady firing the Ma Deuce from the K5 Blazer as it drove up the steps of the Capital?

[joethedrummer]

Lol!!!

- a “riot”… an “insurrection”… where NOBODY shows up with any weapons…

THAT tells the story right there.

[Coffee_drinker]

exactly.

I wonder anyone wants to take bets on if they talk about any FBI or DC Police that were “in on it?”

or if Pelosi actively turned down the offer of the NG?

The producers will lose their shirts, because few people will watch.

Already the leading candidate for the “Leni Riefenstahl Award” before it even shows in theaters.

The corporate media is all lies and propaganda, all the time. It's the Goebbels thing: Repeat a lie often enough and hope that people believe it. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect.
