anybody heard anything about this? Apparently it's already quite controversial, but I haven't heard why, exactly. Is it a BushCo propaganda film?

1. No one really knows what happened on the plane |
|
so its all just conjecture. Its just the studio trying to pass off as "fact" something that they have no clue about.

though I haven't seen enough to know if they're passing it off as fact. It is a movie, after all, not a documentary.
But basically I was wondering if anyone knew if it's all propaganda or if they tried to balance out the story a bit.

2. the preview is banned in NYC |
|
and I see why. i think it's sad that someone is planning on making money by turning a nation tragedy into a movie.

I've seen the previews and ugh...but it doesn't really give a good idea regarding what angle they're taking politically. In other words, are they playing up the heroic patriot crap Bush-style?

5. Didn't they already do a TV movie about flight 93? |
|
I thought there was one a few years ago. I think it's in pretty bad taste to make entertainment out an event that is that recent and raw. :(

7. somehow they got all the families (or most) to sign off on it, and some of |
|
them are appearing in the promo "making of flight 93" . so i imagine it's casting everyone in a heroic light, because that's what people want to see. i saw the promo a week and a half ago, it looked kinda boring, to be honest.
