Stone Begins Shooting 9/11 Movie in N.Y.

Posted under Thoughts

hmm…I don’t know about this one. I think it’s a little soon for us to be reliving 9/11 on the big screen for entertainment value. Sure, it might be tasteful. It might be educational. But if I’m going to be paying $10 a ticket, the nature of the film industry is to provide entertainment for the money.

I don’t think I’m ready to be “entertained” by what happened on September 11.

Oliver Stone has begun shooting one of the first Hollywood films about Sept. 11 in New York without recreating the large-scale devastation that’s all too familiar to residents who lived through the 2001 attacks.

After months of meetings with community and family groups, producers of the untitled movie have promised to tread carefully on sensitive ground. Most of the major action portraying the World Trade Center collapse will be shot on a Los Angeles sound stage. And although news footage of the towers themselves will be shown during the film, it will play on television screens in the background.
