Obviously. Once the general sentimental feeling has died down enough, Hollywood'll be all over it.
 
That seems to be more about the politics and government.

I'm talking about some kind of 9/11 escape action-adventure, with scenes of action and gore. Like Pearl Harbor.
 
If you count corny lines and bad acting as trash, there it is. :D
 
hm, you have two saying they will be made either soon or not, and two saying they will be tasteful. Did you mean that?
 
My immediate fear back in the fall of 2001 was that Disney would eventually make a 9/11 movie much like Peral Harbor. I even predicted what the plot would be: it would be about a man who works in the WTC who has a wife who works at the Pentagon. The movie would end with his wife landing in Afghanistan and bombing a Taliban/al-Quaeda facility of some kind.
 
I heard a while back that Jerry Bruckheimer was wanting to make one, then nothing was ever heard about it.
 
If they do, I bet it will be about the brave sacrifice of those who took down the Pennsylvania flight.

No, not NORAD, the passengers! :D
 
Yes they will. Like the Titanic, it will be a high budget monostrocity yet extremely popular until people have had time to reflect on what they saw and finally conclude it's the new worst ever movie.
 
Actually, you're all wrong.

It will be (like stormbind said) an amazing three-hour epic that intertwines the action of a passenger on the Pennsylvania plane, someone working in the World Trade Center, someone working in the Pentagon, Bush and the politicians, and some soldiers who stand around watching 9/11 happen, get all pissed off, and it ends with them going to Afgahnistan to kick some ass.

I should write this ****. :rolleyes:

EDIT: The moment that will not be in the movie:

My father running out of his office building with the steady flow of people over the bridge. Some man, in a crowd, yells "Bomb!" to try to get up to the front. After everyone ducks down, some man stands up and punches him in the face.

Actually, that might get in there. The whole punching of the face part would be good to get the crowd cheering.
 
I sure as hell hope not. Must Hollywood continue to use historical tragedies to make a sob story instead of actually writing an original script?
 
They already did. The USA network had one about Giuliani...which covered a lot of 9/11 in it (though the early part was Giuliani's rise to the mayor's seat and all that).

I think one of the movie networks (HBO, Showtime, one of those) made a 9/11 film that centered around Bush and towards the end, had clips of the speech at the joint session of Congress and everything.

My fear is that such a movie would feature Christian white supremacists as the antagonists (in contrast to what happened) in order to appease the suddently all-powerful islam lobby(God forbid those pansies should actually have to face up to what is already known). Like what happened with the 2002 movie version of The Sum of All Fears.

My other fear is that such a movie would be a hatchet job.

****. I don't really need a movie about 9/11. I'd settle for a website that has as many live video feeds from that day as possible, and also pictures from NYC, Pentagon, & Pennsylvania.
 
it's america. the land of opportunity. there will be someone who can't resist cashing in on something like this.

it'll happen, and it'll be bad. most likely the 3 hour epic that people have mentioned.
 
I just fear in this age of rampant PC, it won't be Arabs who hijack the airplanes, it'll be neo-nazis.
 
It sure won't feature "Christian white supremacists". I'll bet anything you like that the guy who comes up with the smart idea of making this movie will be from Texas.
