Stone Cold

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone's new movie on the last two cops rescued at Ground Zero won't be an exploitative "Towering Inferno," with filmmakers promising 9/11 families the flick won't depict horrific images from the terror attack.
At a forum last month at Manhattan's Essex House, a dozen or so survivors and family members told the famed director of "JFK" and other history-based flicks that they don't want to see planes crashing into the Trade Center, bodies tumbling or the Twin Towers imploding.

"None of that will be recreated," Michael Shamberg, co-producer of the film, who attended the meeting and has held several similar forums since August, told The Post.

He's been scouting and shooting scenes for the movie in New Jersey, and his cast is supposed to include Nicholas Cage among others. Earlier coverage is here.

UPDATE:
Michelle Malkin wonders if others are worried about where Stone is headed with this project. I think it's pretty clear - based on his prior work, expect the 'facts' to be played with fast and loose because the facts will get in the way of a good yarn.
