OLIVER STONE SEEKS TO FILM "AHMADINEJAD'S ADVENTURES"
From Secrecy News email newsletter. Source links to Teheran Times.Filmmaker Oliver Stone is expected to visit Tehran in the near future to negotiate arrangements for a film about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian press reported last week. Stone cavorting with the enemy. Giving him aid and comfort by making a propaganda film. I wonder if there is a term for that kind of activity? "We have announced that he has asked for permission to travel to Iran for direct negotiations and to plan the project," one official told the Tehran Times. Stone first sought Iranian permission last summer to make the film, variously referred to as "Ahmadijenad's Adventures" or "The Truth About Ahmadinejad." His initial request was denied, but was then reconsidered and approved by the President himself "if certain conditions were met." Among such conditions, the Tehran Times reported, "Stone would not be allowed to invent any scenarios. [Instead,] he should only use incidents from the president's real life in the film." The Iranians do, however, have permission to *ahem* create any scenarios, using their artistic license. Posted by: Alaska Paul 2007-12-05 |
