You've watched Martin Sheen play a beloved president, and you've watched Woody Harrelson play a high-powered political strategist (and beloved pornographer)—so why not watch them take on roles in a 9/11 Truther movie? The pair has reportedly signed on to star in "September Morn," a look at what really happened on September 11, 2001.
The movie's website boasts a cast that also includes Ed Asner, Daniel Sunjata and Judd Nelson and the statement, "We the people demand that the government revisit and initiates a thorough and independent investigation to the tragic events of 911. In the vein of "Twelve Angry Men" this dramatic piece is set with a stellar and award winning cast and filmmakers."
Truthers question how the World Trade Center Building 7 was destroyed: While the official line is that debris from WTC Tower 1 and fires caused it to collapse, truthers suggest it was the result of a controlled demolition by the government. Mayor and President of all things 9/11, Rudy Giuliani, deemed someone who asked about WTC 7 a "conspiracy nut" which is either an insult or a badge of honor—Giuliani did have his Office of Emergency Management there!
Martin Sheen said in 2007, "I did not want to believe that my government could possibly be involved in such a thing, I could not live in a country that I thought could do that—that would be the ultimate betrayal. However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 - how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?” At a 9/11 Truther conference last year, panelists emphasized that events like the "October Surprise" and Watergate set precedent for a massive government conspiracy, therefore, it's totally feasible WTC 7 was blown up by the government.
Deadline had reported that details about the film were expected to be revealed at the American Film Market next week, but now that Deadline article link is dead (here's the cached page). Will the conspiracy never end?!?
