FED: Movies already being made about September 11
By Lisa Davies
SYDNEY, Feb 14 AAP - Feature films based on the September 11 terrorist attacks werealready in the pipeline, a major Hollywood producer said today.
Renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the man behind Top Gun, Con Air, and Pearl Harbour,said producers had already begun receiving material and even scripts.
"The networks are developing a story about the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania,"
he said in Sydney today.
"(And) we recently received the galley (type proof) of a book that dealt with one ofthe fire stations that lost every one of their men except one that was left behind."
He said it would come down to a great journalist who could give scriptwriters an insightinto a particular incident or event of the tragedy that a producer knew nothing of.
Mr Bruckheimer said like most industries, filmmaking had been irreversibly affectedby the attacks.
"(We) do have a different outlook (but) how that will manifest itself in the kindsof films we make, you don't know," he said.
"But you certainly look at the world in a different way."
He said the tragic events probably wouldn't push filmmakers to avoid topics completely,but would ensure sensitivity and convictions that the script was the right one.
Mr Bruckheimer and director Ridley Scott are in Sydney promoting their war epic BlackHawk Down, which opens around the country next week after its premiere in Sydney tonight.
Australian actor Eric Bana has a role in the movie.
