Director Antoine Fuqua questions 911

On Fox News in Boston this morning, they interviewed Antoine Fuqua (director of the new movie "Shooter" - a film about a plot to kill the president). During the interview, he was asked if he thought the movie would be a big hit, and he said (this isn't word for word, the transcript of the interview isn't online yet) "Yes, I think it will interest people, because most people don't trust the government these days. We were lied to about Iraq, and there are still lots of unanswered questions surrounding 9/11."

view the trailer

for "The Shooter"

in the opening scene you will see the 911 Commission Report sitting on Mark Wahlberg's coffee table.

Good Eyes JA...

Well spotted, talk about a brief glimpse...

Best wishes

Wish....

...it had had "holes" in it..... ;)

Just wondering...

Is the guy with the book on the table the "supposed" shooter, plotting to kill the president ?

If ya know what I mean...

Best wishes

Probably....

....it's a truism that assassins enjoy the diversion of good fiction.....

I think "spatial fantasy" would be a more appropriate...

Category for that book ;-)

I suppose my comment was more alluding to the insinuation that a disgruntled 9/11 truther seeked revenge !!!

Wonder who he modelled his character on ???

Best wishes

hmm

oh it does.

Thank you, WinstonKirk! I've been in meetings all day and haven't had a chance to search for the link, and at the time I posted it this morning it wasn't up yet.

Thanks again! I nearly spit out my coffee this morning when I heard him say it on Fox News...
