Let's roll: 9/11 hits UK
Bloody Sunday and Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass has cleared his Working Title-Universal 9/11 real-time tale, Flight 93, for takeoff. (And the handheld wizard is looking an awful lot like Harry Potter all growed older and wooly-headed.)
Reports Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, "It's about the fourth plane involved in the 9/11 attacks in America four years ago, the one on which passengers famously fought back against their terrorist hijackers, under the rallying cry: "Let's roll!" Greengrass is shooting at UK's Pinewood studios, "thousands of miles from the US, for reasons of sensitivity and financial practicality... On two of the stages at Pinewood, replicas of the cockpit and passenger sections of the United Airlines Boeing 757 have been built." The film is based "on the conversations the passengers had with their families, air-traffic controllers and, in one famous instance, a telephone company superviser. The film will follow the real-life time frame of the actual incident as it happened on the plane, intercutting with air-traffic control."
