World Trade Center. Oliver Stone. Coming Soon.
Trailer:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/wtc/hd/





This is probably premature, but it looks to me like after a bit of a slump, Stone is going back to directing great films.

Very strong trailer.

1. That Has to Be... The Clearest, Crispest...
Cleanest, Most Glossy, High-Quality onling video trailer I've ever clicked on! They sure spared no expense on that one. Oh, and... The content was excellent as well.
Hope the movie/story is good and true to the facts too.

2. But if United 93 is a barometer...
He's got to be a little worried about the public reception for this movie. United 93 has been something of a bust.

3. Was United 93 any good?
I don't know much about that film, but I wasn't all that intrigued by the content, which is almost entirely conjecture.

WTC is a true story as told by two real cops. Add that to the fact that Stone is directing and I'm there.

I realize that Stone has put out some stinkers, but when he makes a great film, he makes a really great film.

4. I didn't see it...but the reviews were generally good.
And the one person I know who saw it said it was a well-done movie.

5. I understand he doesn't get into the reasons why it happened..
it's a survival story about some cops trapped in the wreckage

6. For some reason I want to see this. I had no desire to see Flight 93,
and I'm not sure why I feel differently about this movie. MKJ

Maybe because some/most people made it out? :shrug:
