Oliver Stone hints at film tackling 9-11 'conspiracy'

[dogday]

MOSCOW -- US filmmaker Oliver Stone, who surprised many with the patriotic flavor of his new film "World Trade Center," hinted here Monday that he is considering a more controversial follow-up investigating the "conspiracy" around 9-11.

"There is a great story in a movie, a conspiracy by a group of people in the American administration who have an agenda and who used 9-11 to further that agenda," he told journalists while in Moscow as part of a world tour to promote his latest movie.

There could be a "fascinating project (on) what happened after September 11," the director said at his packed press conference on the fifth anniversary of the attacks, wearing a light blue, open shirt and dark jacket.

"World Trade Center" tells the story of two New York police officers who were trapped in the ruins of the collapsed twin towers but survived after being found by a retired US marine.

At his press conference, Stone accused President George W. Bush of mishandling the fight against Bin Laden's militants and using the crisis to stoke fear and bolster his own power at home in a way that was "right out of George Orwell".

1. this is GREAT!

2. Stone takes a lot of flack for "conspiracy" energy in his films.

But after listening to 6 years of the Bush administration's flagrant lies and deceptions and propaganda on the "terra-ists," my opinion of Stone has shot way up.

At his "worst" he can't compete with the lies and propaganda of the Bush administration. He's a blip on the screen compared to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Kristol -- that bunch.

Godspeed, Mr. Stone. I'll buy a ticket to your movie.

7. Another example of fact stranger than fiction

[saltpoint]

8. Yep. Stone's a film-maker. A story-teller. There is a little play in

the wheel in his trade.

But the Bush bunch have lied about WMD and their wealthy Halliburton pals' profits, and a lot of folks are dead in the wake.

No comparison.

3. I was hoping that he was using "WTC to help finance a project that tackles

the "official conspiracy theory"!!!!!

4. The screenplay will write itself, no truth-twisting a la "Path2" required.

5. Wow, thanks Mr Stone. eom

6. And to wrap up a trilogy, he can do a film on the trials at The Hague

like "Judgment at Nuremburg".

One can only hope.

9. *lol* You get a high five from me for that one.

10. I guess it was money that made him sell out with his current 9/11 movie.

:shrug:

I just hope he tells the truth about LIHOP/MIHOP this time. I'm sick of the propaganda!
