This United 93 movie coming out this weekend, is to me, uneccesary. This docudrama is how this event deserves to be told. I found this to be extremely well done, and the narration, as well as the interviews, make this the most accurate telling of this tragedy possible. Why make a big hollywood movie out of it ($$$$$)? I think that United 93 feature is unnessasry, and after I see it, I hope that I don't find it insulting.
shareI'm unclear as to why there needed to be three versions of the same tragedy. Once "The Flight That Fought Back" aired last Sept. 11, 2005, there was really no need for two more re-tellings. After two airings on television (Discovery Channel and A&E), does the studio that made the theatrical release "United 93" think that people are going to flock to the theaters to see the same tragedy? The "Flight that Fought Back" already gave the world an accurate depiction of what happened on the doomed airliner. I just don't get Hollywood executives sometimes.
shareI think that Flight 93 was in pre-production as The Flight That Fought Back was in post production. I guess that's just the way it works sometimes.
shareI actually auditioned for United 93 in NYC back in Sept of last year,2005, so maybe I am mistaken but but I think United 93 came much later than "The Flight That Fought Back", and I went back to NYC in October for the callback and "The Flight That Fought Back" was all done and finished and aired on the Discovery Channel and at the Regent Theatres before United 93 ever got started, and the best and first, ref to The Flight THat Fought Back. !!
and also United 93 was mainly improv, not a written script as I was told at the audition...
