Ollywood skipping Ground Zero: Stone's 9/11 pic
"Director Oliver Stone has begun shooting a Hollywood movie about September 11 in New York, reports AP, without recreating the large-scale devastation... After months of meetings with local residents and family groups, producers of the untitled movie have promised to tread carefully... Most of the major action portraying the World Trade Centre collapse will be shot on a Los Angeles sound stage.... News footage of the towers themselves will be shown during the film [but] it will play on television screens in the background. "We're not doing the Towering Inferno-Titanic version," said Michael Shamberg, who's producing the Paramount film with his partner, Stacey Sher."
