Entertainment Weekly poll: "Is it too soon to make 9/11 movies?"
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/poll/0,6115,1095832_1_0_,00.html

Is it too soon to make movies about the events of Sept. 11? Vote in our poll and see the results in Entertainment Weekly magazine.

Hollywood has finally embraced 9/11 as a subject after shying away from it for the past four years. Two major films have been announced in recent weeks — one directed by Oliver Stone and starring Nicolas Cage, the other directed by Paul Greengrass, the Brit who did Bloody Sunday and The Bourne Supremacy. We'd like to know what you think.

1) Is it exploitive for Hollywood to make 9/11-related movies?

55% Yes

45% No

2) Is it disrespectful to make a fillm based on the events of Flight 93 — which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania — when no one knows for sure what happened during the flight?

59% Yes

41% No

3) Are 9/11-themed movies different from other films depicting historical tragedies (the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, Rwandan genocide)?

68% No

32% Yes
