July 24, 200620 yr Link to the new trailer - http://www.worstpreviews.com/trailer.php?id=18&item=0 Just don't see the point.
July 24, 200620 yr This shouldn't have benn made into a movie for another decade if not more That's what I though when I saw the preview. I mean, we ALL know what happened. It only happened 5 freaking years ago. Talk about trying to make money off a tragedy. And quick.
July 24, 200620 yr Author Movie looks to be going for the cheap/easy tear. I'll pass. Yep. Bodog.com puts the over/under on how many times in the movie Nic Cage says "OH......MY...GOD..." with a dramatic overacting face at 14. I'm going with the over.

Whats the over/under on how many people will cry in the movie per theater regardless of how bad of a movie it is?
July 24, 200620 yr Movie looks to be going for the cheap/easy tear. I'll pass. Oliver Stone has been off of the map since the early 90s. I think he's looking for an easy way back in. He did Alexander last year, whilst it sucked, it managed to do well at the box office, atleast the first couple of weeks.

It made 34 million in the US with a budget of around 200 million. Thats a pretty huge bust. Stone has made some really great movies, not sure what happened to him.
July 24, 200620 yr It's getting good reviews so far. I'm still not gonna see it, just like I didn't see United 93. But maybe one day years from now I'll sit down and watch them. I don't think this country's ready for a regular stream of 9/11 movies, but I could be wrong.
July 25, 200620 yr Unless 100% of profits are donated to some 9/11 charity or something of that nature, I will not PAY MONEY to see it, that doesn't mean I won't still see it though :thumbup .
July 25, 200620 yr This shouldn't have benn made into a movie for another decade if not more America loves films about national disasters. However, I agree. Partly. While the story should be told and remembered, it is too early to make it into a film. But if they were going to do it, they should've made it better than this. Movie looks to be going for the cheap/easy tear. I'll pass. :thumbup
July 25, 200620 yr While I personally won't see it and think it's too soon to be made into a movie, everyone who HAS seen it (critics) have raved about it. It's in the hunt for Best Picture this year according to people who know better than me. I don't know why you think it's going to be so bad (yes, the trailer is awful, but you can't base EVERYTHING on a trailer). I will sit through it if it gets nominated for Best Picture, only because I watch all Best Picture nominees every year.
July 25, 200620 yr I actually remember this story unfolding on the news. No survivors of the buildings were found, but some firefighters were rescued after the towers collapsed. I'll watch it for sure, and I can almost guarantee that a portion of the profits will be put toward some charity/cause.
July 25, 200620 yr This shouldn't have benn made into a movie for another decade if not more the preview reminded me of the movie Ladder 49..that was pretty good. but this is too soon for the 9/11 stuff again. i remember being pulled out of school when it happened.
July 26, 200620 yr Unless 100% of profits are donated to some 9/11 charity or something of that nature, I will not PAY MONEY to see it, that doesn't mean I won't still see it though :thumbup . Yeah, because we all know that the families of victims of 9/11 are really hurting for money. It's a movie, it looks like a cheesy/bad one, but it's still a movie, if they donate to the 9/11 charities that's entirely their prerogative, but they shouldn't have to. How much did you donate to the 9/11 charities?

I think it'd be better donated to just about any other charitable organization.
July 27, 200620 yr I don't need a movie to tell me a story I watched unfold on television. Pass. :thumbup thats my take on it too. also the trailer gives away the whole story that they survive yada..yada..yada. So now that i know the story theres no need for me to see Hollywood replicate the attacks
July 27, 200620 yr World Trade Center Film Benefits 9/11 Groups Four September 11 charities will receive 10 percent of the box-office receipts from the first five days of release of Oliver Stone's World Trade Center film, it was announced on Wednesday. Half of the donation will go toward the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, which is financing two reflecting pools at the base of the someday-to-be-built Freedom Tower, while the rest will be split equally among three other groups.

How much did you donate to the 9/11 charities? There are dozens 9/11 charities which have NOTHING to do with the families of victims. Several fallen police officer and firefighter charities, among other things.

July 29, 200620 yr I don't know how you can say that's a "cop out". First week is generally the most profitable one, unless you expect this movie to be Titanic-like (as in #1 movie for 3 months), then I can consider it a "cop out".
