Uniter Flight 93

I thought I'd have to wait at LEAST another year!

I'll see them, if only to see how accurate and responsible they are in portraying the events.
I already know how it ends.
Really, I'm sure someone will see them but I have no interest.

Agreed. I had the day off on 9/11 and kind of feel like I've already seen these movies. That and I've heard the Oliver Stone movie is giving all the procedes to Al Qaeda, just seems wrong, but Nick Cage is in it, so maybe it'll be worth checking out.
I'd like to see the ending fare poorly with test audiences and get changed. Maybe a cafeteria worker can run to the rooftop, find an anti-aircraft gun and shoot down the jetliners before they hit, thus saving the WTC.
That, I would see!
That, I would see!

That's a pretty serious allegation. Mind telling me where you saw that?
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

S'what Flea said and, if there's anyone here who knows flakey pop-cultural trivia tidbits, it'd be Flea.

Seems like pretty tasteless **** to me.
That being said, I'm not the least bit surprised, either.

A news story I'm too lazy to link wrote:
A New York City movie theater has pulled the trailer for "United 93," which chronicles in real time the hijacked United Airlines flight that crashed into a Western Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11.
The AMC Loews Lincoln Square 12 theater in Manhattan said it made the decision after viewers complained they found it too upsetting.
"I don't think people are ready for this," theater manager Kevin Adjodha said.
"One lady was crying," Adjodha told Newsweek. "She was saying that we shouldn't have played the trailer. That this was wrong."
Universal Studios in Los Angeles, meanwhile, said it would go ahead with plans to show the trailer for the thriller, which is scheduled to open in theaters on April 28.
[...]
The trailer begins with images of passengers boarding the plane on a sunny morning, and builds to a disturbing scene that includes actual news video of a plane about to hit one of the World Trade Center towers. It then returns inside Flight 93 as terrorists begin hijacking it and a passenger calls his family to tell them of the impending disaster.
The Families of Flight 93 have said that Universal Pictures will donate 10 percent of the first three days' grosses to the memorial.

Wasn't there a special on cable about that flight? People didn't have a problem with that what's the difference?
Feels too soon for this. We haven't even hit the 5 year mark, and this feels like it should wait at least 5 more. Not enough perspective yet, IMHO.

I don't think it was specifically about the film. But the trailer. You can choose to watch a cable program. You can choose to see a film in the theatre. But, you don't necessarily know or choose which trailers are going to be shown in the theatre for the film you *did* pay to see.
I assumed that's what the issue was about. While I'm sure some folks do think that it's too soon for a film (or films in this case), that's going to be "some people", not "all people" (which presumably is what these films are banking on). But you're pretty likely to hit some of those first people if you're randomly showing the trailers...

And I watch commercials and previews I'd rather not see in movies I *payed* to see. And that cable channel showed commercials for that program before it aired. If the families and friends directly affected by it don't have a problem I don't see what the deal is. Maybe it is too soon, but if it helps the mourning process and helps us remember what happened it can't be that bad.

Film trailers are typically much more graphic and in-depth then TV commercials. Heh. And longer...

I saw the trailer for one last night. No different than the trailer for any other movie about a bunch of innocent people getting hijacked and killed. The only thing that got me was how it was pushing stuff like "From the director of..."ect which made somthing that is deeply personal just that much more impersonal.
I predict that they will crucify The Passion at the box office. crucify, nyuk nyuk

Both seem to be a poor decision by the movie industry as far as subject matter goes. I sincerely hope that they receive a lot of negative criticism and pull the plug before they sink any more money into these titles. I think most Americans are probably still not up to seeing these horrific acts of terrorism projected in larger than life proportions. Not only that, but if any film studios earn cash off these tragedies, I will be sick to my stomach. To me that is lower than low.
I can't understand the "point" of makng a movie about 9/11 yet. Everyone knows what happened. Everyone's already seen it on TV. Having Tom Hanks as the pilot and Gary Oldamn as a terrorist is gonna bring what exactly? Finally, movies tend to "dramatise" events, but it's hardly needed there. And if it's an exact reconstruction, then what's the point? It's gonna be like the Titanic, except no one survives.
And yeah, people making money out of this is kinda sick.
