My word... Someone please shelve this project!!!
"Just when you thought the summer couldnÂ’t get worse for Hollywood, Paramount has announced that Oliver Stone will be directing the first major feature film about 9/11. The movie will star Nicolas Cage as Port Authority police sergeant, John McLoughlin. The sergeant and fellow officer William Jimeno were the last two men to be pulled alive from the rubble of the World Trade Center. The film will be released next year - thus guaranteeing another summer of bad box office returns. (Memo to Hollywood: Why not “The Passion II: The Afterlife”?)"
We all know that Nicolas Cage is clearly nutso, especially since dumping the lovely Patricia Arquette in favour of Elvis's lunatic daughter, but Oliver Stone at least has some measure of street credit for being a "challenging director." So, in this case, the "powers that be" will surely force this into some sort of American Imperialism propoganda vehicle. Truly embarassing. I guess you get what you deserve after making "Alexander."
