Say It Ain't So

Oliver Stone is going to direct a Paramount Pictures film on 9/11...

Oscar-winning star Cage will take the lead role of New York Port Authority policeman Sergeant John McLoughlin, who was trapped along with one of his fellow officers in the mangled wreckage of one of the twin towers that crumbled after being hit by hijacked passenger jets.

The movie will focus on the two men as well as on their rescuers and families as they battle to find out what happened to their missing loved ones in the aftermath of the attacks that left a total of around 3,000 people dead in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

I'm not one of those who feel 9/11 is a hands off topic. If told right, this could be a very inspiring story about true heroes -- something we need more of from today's movies. Given Stone's track record, I'm skeptical that he can keep to the story and stay away from the political jabs and wacky conspiracy theories.

I wonder how long before CAIR complains about the anti-muslim sentiment that will be stirred by the movie?
