Charlie Sheen 9/11 Movie Comin - Has Charlie Sheen, Whoopi Goldberg and Luis Guzmán

[Johnny Bravo]

We have movies about the Titanic, Pearl Harbor, and the Holocaust. This was bound to happen.

Hollywood can retaliate by putting Jerry Bruckheimer in charge of a crassly dramatized Fukushima disaster film.

Oh hell no... Michael Bay.

One of the producers was Malachi in Children of the Corn. The other worked on Two and Half Men.

This is clearly some sort of money-laundering, drug-smuggling operation run by Charlie Sheen.

Well at least it's not some Italian sleazeball garden variety.

It takes a while but it does happen.

Oliver Stone already did a 9-11 movie.

 

[Overcast]

Wasn't there some movie about some autistic kid coping with his father dying on 9/11?

 

[Picklepower]

Why in 2017? also how much do you want to bet Charlie Sheen is going on backstage about how it was an inside job?

I guess 16 years is enough wait time these days to go ahead.

The exception being that the Holocaust was a fictional event.

 

[vertexwindi]

I don't think it's possible to hire a more unfitting actor for this kind of movie than Charlie Sheen and Whoopie Goldberg. Class act.

The exception being that the Holocaust was a fictional event.

We get that you're bitter but it's been more than two millennia, let it go.

 

[Zarkov]

It's funny because Sheen has AIDS.

 

[Picklepower]

I for one am definitely gonna crack a beer and watch this in a show of patriotism. Imagining that people like Whoopi, Sheen, and Guzman could have been in those towers, makes me feel way more sad about those events.

There've been, like, two 9/11 movies so far, right? The Nic Cage one and the United 93 one.

Three, if you count the one that ends with Robert Pattinson at the towers.

Why am I betting that at the last minute, this movie gets sent straight to DVD?

How else are they gonna recoup in a hurry?

I was hoping this was going to be like the animated Titanic movie where a giant talking octopus with a dog face saves everyone on the boat and the actual sinking was caused by evil sharks who worked in conjunction with whalers to drive the ship into the iceberg.

Except Woopi Goldberg would lead a gang of evil talking planes and everyone would be saved by a giant blimp with a heart of gold and a face.

So we can no longer say "too soon" in regards to 9/11 related stuff like jokes?

Sweet.

Reminded they had Whoopi voicing an iceberg in an SNL TV Funhouse parody of a Titanic animated feature!

EDIT: Too bad Vimeo seems to be down right now so I can't share that vid of the spoof I mentioned, but it was perfect!

Is this based on a true story of people that survived? Or did they just make one up? It's based on some play called Elevator. I thought it was the same as that Elevator movie where one person is a terrorist because it came out in 2011 as well as the play. But it's not.

In Carson's original play, Guzman's part was written as a Swedish tower worker played by local Tucson actor Bob Kovitz (see IMDB credits).

So in order to make it more diverse they changed a Swedish man to a Puerto Rican one? The Swedes are so cucked by diversity that they'd probably applaud this change anyway.

Whoopi's wig looks like it came straight from Party City. I guess they didn't have the budget for a decent one. They've got two stars who have, through stupid things they've said and done, become very unlikable over the years. Too bad it's not Ted Danson instead of Charlie Sheen. That would be a riot. I can't see this doing well. The subject matter is still too sensitive. We've had 9/11 movies before. But it's a really iffy thing to take a gamble on.

The writers don't look too impressive either. One of them is Steven James Golebiowski. He has Producer credits on Anger Management. Which I thought was just the Adam Sandler movie. But there's a Charlie Sheen TV show that didn't last too long and this guy has credits for both. And he's credited as a creator to some stupid Ghost Hunters clone called Haunted Collector. He's done a bunch of accounting and assistant work. That's it. If Golebiowski is in charge of writing the dialog I wouldn't expect too much. Not unless he's an untapped genius at writing scripts. Which I highly doubt.

I can't wait to see what this is like and how hard it fails. No one likes Sheen anymore. I'd think his career would be pretty much dead. Why poison your film with Charlie Sheen? Unless he's behind the whole thing and wants to incorporate his tin foil theories into it somehow. Even if it's in passing and not a blatant call out. The fact that one of the writers has worked with him in the past is kind of suspect.
