Goopster24 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I dunno if this has been posted already. United 93 Trailer This movie is coming out April 28. It's almost five years since the event. They said it's possibly the fastest movie to be based on a tragic event to hit the theaters. How do people feel about this movie? It's gonna be hard to watch it IMO. I still remember that day and the days following very clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think I might have posted something on this, but I can't remember. To me, it's anything to make money, more than a memorial. I won't go to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it does seem like just a few months ago that the attacks happened though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I feel about the idea of this movie. I mean - no one really knows what happened, right? Definitely won't be going to the theatre for this one.

Puddy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 One New York City theater already pulled the trailer. Universal stands by "United 93" movie trailer By Bob Tourtellotte 5 minutes ago LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Universal Pictures is standing by the promotional trailer for its upcoming 9/11 movie "United 93" despite audience complaints that caused one New York City theater to pull the advertisement off its screens. ADVERTISEMENT Universal marketing president Adam Fogelson told Reuters on Tuesday that his team and the film's makers, including director Paul Greengrass, worked closely with the families of victims of the doomed United Airlines flight to ensure the movie and its marketing was sensitive to their concerns. "We have received numerous e-mails (from family members) saying they appreciated the tone and sensitivity and honesty of the piece that is being presented," Fogelson said. He added that the movie studio has no plans to change the trailer or make a new one as a substitute. "United 93" depicts events on the hijacked flight that crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside on September 11 after other airliners hit the Pentagon and the World Trade Center towers in New York. The trailer shows news footage of the burning towers while a passenger on board Flight 93 reveals a bomb strapped around his middle, and other passengers vow to fight back. The movie will begin playing at theaters around the U.S. on April 28. The trailer caused complaints at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square in New York, so the theater decided to pull it. The trailer also is being shown in thousands of U.S. venues, and no other cinema owner has yanked it, according to Universal. Trailers and other movie advertisements often get pulled by theater owners after audiences complain. Feingold noted, for instance, that last year's hit comedy "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" raised a ruckus in some localities and caused a few theaters to remove its poster from movie house lobbies. Universal Pictures is a unit of the NBC Universal division of General Electric Co. Reuters/VNU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't like it. It'll contain conjecture mixed with facts which will result in the blurring of lines of both, which won't be beneficial. Something like this needs to be more of a doc if anything....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd4Hire Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I believe I saw something similar to this that Discovery or PBS had already done. There version was not that good, and I won't pay money to sit in a theatre to watch this one. As was mentioned, I think a doc is best for this.

alexgaddis Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Does it star Bruce Willis as the guy who takes on all the terrorists and then gets a hold of the plane and lands it safely and then kills the terrorists one by one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I was thinking how different (morally & accuracy) will a movie about 9/11 be than let's say Pearl Harbor or other tragedies! Just a thought.

TheGrunt Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Getting very good reviews so far... http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/united_93/ 1438887[/snapback] This movie will no doubt be an emotional one to watch, but I almost feel as though it is important to see it. It won't be an easy one though. 9/11 actually brought this nation closer together for a certain amount of time and I'm willing to bet this movie shows nothing less than what American pride is really all about.

Retrograde assault Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Like hollywood gets any historical subject exactly right!

TheGrunt Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 And untrained pilots crashing a plane doesn't make a good story. 1439350[/snapback] I think they created the film more so to honor the victims during 9/11 then exemplify what happened during that day; we already know what happened.
