Good for Germany:
Germany’s largest movie chain, CinemaxX, has pulled the hit Turkish film Valley of the Wolves: Iraq, following accusations that the film is anti-Semitic and anti-American. The film depicts American soldiers in Iraq as villains, with Billy Zane playing a sadistic U.S. officer and Gary Busey, a Jewish doctor who harvests the organs of Iraqi prisoners and sells them to clients in the West and in Israel. “The controversy surrounding this film has really heated up,” CinemaxX spokesman Arne Schmidt told today’s (Friday) Hollywood Reporter. “We didn’t want to add oil to the fire, so we decided to pull the film.” Earlier this week, Bavarian state premier Edmund Stoiber called on all German theater owners “to pull this racist and anti-Western hate film immediately.” However, Anil Sahin, head of Maxximum, the film’s distributor, told the trade publication. “This is being used as a political football to score points. I wonder if any of the politicians has [sic] actually seen the movie. It’s just a fun, silly action flick — Rambo told from the other side.”
Yeah, a silly action flick telling lies about our troops committing murder.
For the earlier post that Wordsmith wrote on this movie go here.? You will find 70+ comments but some real wackjob.
And would Bruce Willis pay out of his own pocket to make this film?
I don’t think so.
Yeah, I read about this BS the other day. Two more actors for my s&%t list.
Good news though, I read that Bruce Willis was going to make a movie based on Michael Yon, the ex-Green Beret turned blogger/journalist. The write up said that Willis was disgusted with how the war was being portrayed. I just hope he gets the movie made. I worry that funding will dry up once the lefties go on the attack. Look at what happened to Mel Gibson, he had to pay with own money to make Passion of the Christ.
