ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 December 17, 2004 http://www.cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?aff_id=0&this_cat=Movies&action=page&type_id=&cat_id=270338&obj_id=43171 Harrison Ford is now attached to play real-life U.S military General Jim Mattis in NO TRUE GLORY: THE BATTLE FOR FALLUJAH. The movie will be based on the non-fiction book being written by Bing West, a journalist reporting on the Iraq War, which is to be published come next May. The movie will center on the recent American forces attack on the insurgent-held city of Fallujah led by Mattis. The conflict arose first when four Americans were captured, killed and hanged off of a bridge in the city. That act led to the White House ordering their forces in on the city, but with victory within their grasp, orders from the top came down easing off the U.S. attack. Six months later the ground and air assault happened again, with American forces eventually taking over complete control of the city. Michael Shamburg and Stacey Sher have optioned the book's rights for their production company, Double Feature, which has a first-look deal with Universal Pictures._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

This is Hollywood, more importantly Hollywood looking for DOD co-operation (free toys) in the film making! They're probably waiting for a full moon so they can re-animate John Wayne & his horse to re-enact the famous scene in "The Green Berets"! You know, the one where DESPITE being an air cavalry colonel in the Vietnam War, he still managed to contrive to ride a horse into "Dodge City". Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

pajarito 0 #4 December 20, 2004 I think Afghanistan is "the forgotten war" nowadays. I'd like to see a movie depicting how a handful of Green Beret teams on horseback organized a resistance and coordinated air support to take down the Al-Qaida strongholds and Taliban government in a matter of weeks. That would be more interesting than how a bunch of Marines in full force steamrolled and pummeled the hell out of Fallujah. What the SF teams did was unprecedented.
