Oliver Stone?
The chances of this movie NOT blaming America for 9/11 in some significant way are zero.
Whew a 3 hour conpiracy theory on how it was really the Israeli's who were behind 9/11.
Hollywood is freaking nuts.
Hollywood has a death wish second only to a homicide bomber. Oliver Stone? The guy that thinks America is to blame for 9/11? That we deserved it? Where will it be shown, at the anti-American museum the left hopes to put at ground zero?
How much drugs can these people do?
No, they were waiting for a nice period of time before they made a movie about 9-11 and how Americans were to blame and how Atta and his gang are heroes.
When I saw Nicholas Cage was in it, I thought, "Great!" But Oliver Stone? Oh, boy....
Stone's conspiratorial invective is going to get hundreds or thousands more humans killed, when the movie opens in Muslim countries and inflames the "street", and again, when 2 years from now segments of the movie are used by terrorists recruitment montage videos.
Otherwise semi-literate semi-educated Americans and Europeans believe Stone's "JFK" is the real version of events. Stone's whacked out interpretation won't do no favors for the lives of America's future first responders.
So what are the odds that the heroic policeman played by Nicholas Cage turns out to be a homosexual?
His "stardom" is simply an accident of birth. He has an uncle who owns the game.
Good grief. Stone will have President Bush personally flying the planes into the Towers by remote control while Dick Cheney chants "Halliburton " in the background.

'YOU'RE MR. CONSPIRACY. DO YOU THINK PRESIDENT BUSH KNEW ABOUT 9/11 BEFORE IT HAPPENED?
No, I don't particularly think so. I think they were taken off guard. It's probably somewhat as Richard Clarke has portrayed it.
YOU WENT TO YALE. SO DID GEORGE W. BUSH AND JOHN KERRY. ANY CHANCE FOR A CLASS REUNION?
I knew Kerry a little bit at Yale. We all looked up to him. He was head of the political union, and he was almost presidential material then. He looked like Abraham Lincoln.

HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TODAY FOR A LIBERAL FILMMAKER TO FIND BACKING?
It's impossible. There's a decision, a consensus, that a certain kind of movie "will not work." I'll always feel that you can take the most boring subject and make it gripping. JFK was gripping, love it or hate it. People weren't thinking about J.F.K. at that point; he was off the books. At worst, the movie opened up the debate.
WOULD YOU EVER DO A BIOPIC ABOUT THE BUSH FAMILY?
If I tried to do something like that, I would get so pounded before I even got a foot of film shot. I don't know if there's room enough on my back for the scars.'
From the Apr. 19, 2004 issue of TIME magazine
I really like Nicolas Cage -- he's very attractive and talented -- but under the direction of Oliver Stone this movie will be extremely slanted. Oliver Stone seems to hate the U.S. and his movie will no doubt be as kooky as he is.
Not sure if this is the new movie but this is a new poster that is making the rounds...
And Nick Cage is a hack. The only reason I have any respect for him is because he got a face full of Elisabeth Shue's ya-yas in Leaving Las Vegas.
Hollywood ... what a creative vacuum. Where is Gary Cooper when we need him?
I can only imagine how they'll portray it.
If Oliver Stone is involved I will have to pass.
Here's a li'l refresher link concerning Stone's last box office triumph...

'Nuff said.
This article had me intrigued until I got to the name of Oliver Stone.
I love Nicholas Cage as a policeman, 9/11, survivors, all that, then enter Oliver Stone and it's a given that it'll have Cage as remorseful for surviving, a moment where he has an epitome and realizes that HE, as an AMERICAN, is to BLAME and that he'll fall to his knees beside body parts on a Manhattan Street, yelling, 'WHY, WHY, WHYYYYY...' then pick up a tattered American flag and wipe his sweaty, tear-stained face with it, while being embraced by fearful Muslims, crying out, "please, puuhhleazze protect us from the lynch mobs!"...
developing...bad movie.
