It was bound to happen...
Studios now have in the works two feature films and mulitpart TV movie based on the events of 9/11. The most prominent one will feature Nicolas Cage and be directed by Olive Stone. For more exact details go here: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050708g.php
Now, I really don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, it is important that the stories of the men and women who risked their lives that day to save others be preserved and told. On the other hand, it's still a little too soon to start making movies dramatizing something that's still very fresh in our heads. And with Oliver Stone at work, this could turn into some kind of one sided political debate. I guess as long as these films are handled with the right sensitivity to the victims and their families, it could be a good thing. Most importantly the films must be the story of the people, and not feature some 30 minute attack scene with CGI planes, building, and explosions. Don't turn this into a Michael Bay movie...please...(PEARL HARBOR). What do you all think about this?
