World Trade Center

Das noch unbetitelte Projekt über das schreckliche Ereignis am 11. September 2001 hat schon einen Regisseur und Hauptdarsteller gefunden. Der noch zuletzt kritisierte Oliver Stone ("Alexander") wird den Film inszenieren.

Nicolas Cage, der Ende dieses Jahres mit Lord Of War in den Kinos zusehen sein wird, soll hierbei die Hauptrolle übernehmen. Die Geschehnisse werden aus der Sicht von zwei Polizisten erzählt, die zusammen mit anderen Rettungskräften ihr Leben riskiert haben, in dem sie in das brenndende World Trade Center liefen um Menschenleben zu retten. Die beiden gehörten zu den wenigen, die überlebt haben. Einer dieser beiden Polizisten wird von Nicolas Cage verkörpert.
Das Drehbuch wurde von Andrea Berloff verfasst. Die Vorproduktion begann bereits in New York.

Cage and Stone to make a true adventure story of heroism at the World Trade Center in the aftermath of 9/11!
Hey folks, Harry here... Got this press release today. Here we have a film that has the potential to be the single most talked about film the year it is released. Will Oliver Stone make a film honoring the courage and sacrifice and heroes of 9/11? The events of that day are single most defining iconic imagery of the times we live. Every politician conjures the memory of the day, the emotion of the day and the various meanings of that day. But there's one thing that neither political party can claim as their own, that no terrorist act can taint. And that's the heroism of those that threw themselves bodily into the very path of danger... all in the hopes of saving the lives of their fellow man, women and children. If Stone handles this right he'll create a film that clearly and cleanly places the mantle of hero - not on the politicians speaking in the days following the events - but on those that truly define heroes. Those that saved and died saving others' lives. This film could lead to something great.
NICOLAS CAGE TO STAR IN UNTITLED WORLD TRADE CENTER PROJECT FOR PARAMOUNT PICTURES; OLIVER STONE TO DIRECT

Film is Based on the True Story of September 11 Rescue Operation

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 8, 2005¦¦Academy Award®-winner Nicolas Cage will star in and three-time Academy Award®-winner Oliver Stone will direct an untitled World Trade Center project for Paramount Pictures. The film, a dramatic motion picture based on the true story of the rescue of two Port Authority police officers from the collapsed World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, will be produced by Double Feature Films Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher and former InterMedia Films chairman Moritz Borman. Debra Hill will also be credited, posthumously, as a producer. Andrea Berloff wrote the original screenplay. The film will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.

The film is the heroic story of the last two men, John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, rescued from the collapse of the World Trade Center. It follows the story of two Port Authority policemen who are trapped in the rubble during the rescue efforts. It also focuses on their rescuers and their families, who are attempting to find out what happened to the trapped men. The film is a portrayal of how the human spirit rose above the tragic events of that day.

Sgt. John McLoughlin, one of the two trapped officers, said, I feel someone had to tell the story of the people who were in the Trade Center before and after it collapsed. It needs to be told how this horrific tragedy brought Americans and the world together to help those in need. The people involved in putting this movie together are truly making an extraordinary attempt to tell those stories and the stories of those who are no longer with us.

William J. Jimeno, Ret. Port Authority Police Detective, added, As a survivor of 9/11, I want people never to forget those that died from my department, the Port Authority Police of NY/NJ, and those from my fellow departments, the NYPD and FDNY, as well as all of the EMTs and the civilians in NYC, in Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon. I know that with the talented cast of people that have been brought together by Double Feature Films to bring this film project to life, they will never be forgotten. It will also be a tribute to all those that gave everything they had to bring people home to their loved ones.

This film is also a testament to the good that we as human beings are capable of. I have all the confidence in the world that with such a great script that was written by Andrea Berloff and having one of the world's greatest directors Oliver Stone, who has served his country and knows the price of freedom, this film will be one that will live on for generations to come, not only in America but the world!

Brad Grey, chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures Motion Pictures Group, said, This is a moving, personal story of courage and perseverance. The individual heroism and the collective human spirit portrayed in this project is storytelling at its finest. We feel fortunate, proud, and an enormous sense of responsibility making this movie at Paramount.

Grey previously produced the award-winning documentary In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01.

Gail Berman, president of Paramount Pictures, said, Nicolas Cage is a gifted actor whos shown a special ability to connect with audiences everywhere with brilliant performances that always draw us into the inner lives of the characters he portrays. With a director of Oliver Stones caliber, the humanity of Andrea Berloffs words will come to life. The combination of their talents is perfect for this incredibly poignant story.

Oliver Stone said, Andrea Berloffs screenplay is one of the best thats ever come to me out of the blue I guess like that day. It walloped me and many others with its emotion and simplicity. Clearly, its a work of collective passion, a serious meditation on what happened, and carries within a compassion that heals. Its an exploration of heroism in our country but is international at the same time in its humanity.

Cage plays Sgt. John McLoughlin, a Port Authority police officer. Brad Weston and Pamela Abdy will oversee the project for Paramount Pictures.

Shamberg and Sher, the Academy Award®-nominated producers of Erin Brockovich, Pulp Fiction, and Garden State, among many others, specialize in films about the times we live in. Borman served as executive producer of The Quiet American, and producer of Alexander, and many other films.

Paramount Pictures is currently developing plans for charity organizations working with the victims and heroes of 9/11 to benefit from this project.

Paramount Pictures is a part of the entertainment operations of Viacom, Inc., one of the worlds largest entertainment and media companies and a leader in the production, promotion, and distribution of entertainment, news, sports, and music.

Und ich frage mich ob die Welt einen solchen Film braucht. Meine Güte die Realität ist brutaler als alles was es gibt und da wird auch über das noch ein Film gemacht. Superklasse ....

Lange hat es aber nicht gedauert bis man das Ereignis verfilmt.

Ansonsten bin ich der selben Meinung wie Samara777.

Nichts überraschendes dabei außer, dass wir nun das datum wissen. Aber so lange noch ohne Cage. :jabba:

Trotz Stone und Cage bin ich noch sehr skeptisch.
Ich weiss nich, wie der Film sein müsste, damit er mir gefällt.
Liegt aber wohl daran, das ich das Attentat für einen großen Fake halte.

Aber trotzdem sehr Brisant...bin auf jeden Fall gespannt, wie die Attentate rübergebracht werden und ob das überhaupt gezeigt wird.

Ich finde es noch zu früh für diesen Film. Wir haben den Tag doch immer noch gut in Erinnerung, vor allem weil sämtliche Sender tagelang (oder wochenlang) Dokumentationen darüber gezeigt haben. Man müsste meiner Meinung nach noch ein paar Jahrzehnte warten, bevor man es verfilmt.
Ausserdem befürchte ich dass der Film typisch amerikanisch-patriotisch werden wird.

naja mir reicht ehrlichgesagt die dokumentation zum 11.september über den newyorker feuerwehrmann - ich brauche keinen hollywood-blockbuster drüber, und werde ihn mir auch nicht anschauen

Blau, weiß rot...woran erinnert mich das nur? Na, ja, die Amerikaner wären nicht die Amerikaner, wenn bei so einem Film der Patriotismus nicht zu kurz kommen würde.

Das Poster an sich ist okay. Bin auf jeden Fall mal auf die ersten Reaktionen bezüglich des Film gespannt...
