I cant believe they are bringin a film out about this already, its only been 5 years. Its got Nicholas cage in and its about a gang of dibble who go in to rescue them, based on a true story and I do appreciate what they went through but its a bit soon isnt it to be making money off such a thing.

Trailer here

Be crap anyway if Nicholas Cage is in it, whats that? He's playing a hard done by cop forced into a difficult situation requiring him to say some lines with a clenched jaw? Hmm that doesnt sound familiar.
 
Nicholas Cage aint that bad, give him a break! He was good in adaptation.

This does seem a little frustrating after United 93 etc. but hey, if people want to see it, it will get made!
 
they're makin money off it though arent they, not like its just a documentary to show the world what happened.

I knew a film would be brought out at some point, just not this soon.

Hes an awful actor, Con Air, the Rock and Gone in 60 Seconds, it was all the same character! I just grimace now whenever a film with him in comes out.

You saying documentarys don't make any money :confused:


not saying that, just meant it in the way that a documentary is usually made to show people something or to teach, a hollywood blockbuster is usually for entertainment.

If they were saying somethin like a large percent of the gross was goin to help victims families or whatever then I'd be on board with everythin except Nicolas Cage, but I bet you hes not offering up his 10mil paycheck to anyone.

All he does is walk around in slow motion, shoot people and just escape from large & dramatic explosions.. not a NC fan, either.

yep, was reading about this film before and his part was offered to George Clooney and Mel Gibson and some others I cant remember.

Why they went with Cage I have no idea. One of them was Kevin Costner though and I can understand why they didnt go with him, hes nearly as bad as Cage.

Watch Lord of War.
And "Raising Arizona". :)

It's not surprising, considering they just came out with "United 93" also. It was bound to happen. And they're trying to show the good side of the human spirit, unlike "Fahrenheit 911". I'm sure there will be more.
 
Guys lay off the cage. He may be type cast but that doesnt make him any less of an actor. I thought he was awesome in the rock, and in matchstick men. 2 very differing roles there no?
 
I'm not surprised, or particularly bothered that they've made a film about it. It's been 5 years already and it's prime material for a sentimental morality tale that Hollywood loves.

The only disrespectful thing is involving Nick Cage, I really hate that guy, I've no idea how he gets so much work.
 
Looks like it'll appeal to the same people as Pearl Harbour (the movie) did :o Bit of lovey-dovey chick flick.

I wonder if the last 20 minutes of the film shows them getting revenge on Afghanistan though? :eek:
