Default Too Soon to make a 9/11 movie?

I say so. Maybe because I live in the NY Metro Area and remember seeing the soot/smoke from my house but I do not think a movie about this should be released within 10 years of it happening. Maybe if the profit goes to the families who lost someone or to NYC itself. :dontknow:

The film, which as of now is to be called, simply, "World Trade Center," tells the story of two Port Authority police officers, John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno, who were the last two rescue workers pulled from ground zero alive. It is billed as an uplifting story about everyday New Yorkers helping one another amid a cataclysmic tragedy. So for 20 days in October and November, the cast and crew were in the New York metropolitan area, filming at the police desk in the Port Authority bus terminal and along the route the officers took downtown on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. They filmed scenes on the Staten Island ferry, the Long Island Rail Road and a subway train in Brooklyn. They shot in Clifton, N.J., near Mr. Jimeno's house, and in other suburbs.

Yes, 10 years sounds like a good waiting period. Nothing like profiting from tragedy.

To top it all off, it will probably suck.

probably a made for TV movie. I'm sure they'll throw in a lot of drama in the character's lives that wasn't really there.

I know what the Oliver Stone movie is about, but the original poster was wondering whether its too soon to make a movie about 9/11, and I was wondering how long after the Vietnam war before they made the first movie about it (vietnam war).
