'Selma' director and star to pair for Katrina movie
Daily Mail ^ | 01/27/15 | AFP

Posted on 01/27/2015 12:34:17 AM PST by barmag25

Ava DuVernay, the director of the Martin Luther King historical movie "Selma", is set to again team up with the film's star David Oyelowo for a new project about Hurricane Katrina.

DuVernay and Oyelowo, who were both finalists at this year's Golden Globes, will "develop a new narrative feature film chronicling a sweeping love story and complex murder mystery during the time of Hurricane Katrina," Participant Media said Monday.

The project will mark the pair's third collaboration after "Middle of Nowhere" and "Selma", which has been nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Picture.

"folks in Mobile or Miami...would all pack up and at least head ten miles inland."

I hate to say it's racial, but that's the way to bet. I've seen any number of bars along the Florida beaches advertise Hurricane Parties, but I know only the young and stupid would go.

Bush did it.

Lets get our facts straight. Dick Cheney used Halliburton’s weather machine to cause the storm. President Bush combined the powers of Superman, Aquaman, and Bill Brasky to personally punch holes in the levees.

At least that the way the left remembers it.

I can see two of the main characters having a conversation while in the background two characters who resemble Bush and Cheney are busy blowing up the dikes and levees.

I can see it now.....after the supposed revisions to LBJ in Selma, could this exchange be just around the corner?

Bush: "Well, guess that's a few more welfare cases we don't have to worry about. Who cares about a bunch of colored folk anyway?" (laughs)

Cheney: "Absolutely, Mr. President. Maybe you should send the National Guard down to 'take care of the problem looters?'"

Anonymous wide-eyed intern: "But those people down there are fighting for their lives."

Bush & Cheney: (evil laugh)

Scene 2:

Nagin: "Mr. President, people will die unless we get your help!"

Bush: "I'm sorry, Ray, but I can't tie up Federal resources in a local matter." (covers mouthpiece of phone laughing, as we hear Nagin begging for assistance.

“Another “make the man look bad” movie?”

Probably, though at some point they should realize how counterproductive it is to remind whites how dependent so many blacks are.

Wonder who they will get to play Shep Smith of Fox News, with his breathless reports of people eating corpses in the Super Dome? Roger Ailes lost all credibility when he did not fire his hyperventilating idiot reporter on the scene.

You really think they will expose convicted Mayor Ray Nagin's crimes of Katrina?

Zombie movies are trending right now, this could be good.

Main Protagonists:

Mayor Nagin and Gov. Blanco for standing up to and not listening to the Nazi-like Bush administration.

LBJ for overseeing the construction of the levee in 1965 (Flashback sequences).

Heineken Looter Guy and his heroic as well as dramatic journey to liberate the pale larger. The action sequences and CGI of Heineken Looter Guy battling Bush's Nazi FEMA goons as well as 50ft alligators will rival anything produced/directed by Peter Jackson, James Cameron, or Michael Bay.

Main Antagonists:

People who engage in common sense along with personnel responsibility and how those constructs create the aura of racism in the United States. This will be the main theme that drives the deep lasting impact upon the moviegoer. Yes Nazi Bush is an easy target, but when looking deeper into an intellectual realm, all naturally lighter pigmented people who shun the Democrat controlled Utopian idea of the Federal government and take responsibility for themselves as well as their loved ones are the truly evil people. The darker pigmented people who do this are just brainwashed by the whiter ones.

The Nazi Bush Administration for blowing up the levees which were perfectly designed by LBJ. Also the intense situation two days before Katrina hits where Nazi Bush holds a gun to Nagin's head and warns him either you drown or the buses drown.

The Constitution, States Rights and any legislation that prevents the Federal Government from forming a dictatorship void of Checks and Balances as well as division of power between the State and Federal government.
