Why no 911 movie? I mean, most other tragedies soon are replayed as a movie.

with all the info out there, why hasn't someone made a movie about a US coup or a US terror plot? Based on a true story...

1. Probably a capital investment decision
the expected returns where not as favorable as other projects with similar costs.

2. Impossible. They made a Flight 93 movie (which my 13 year old calls a comedy BTW--I won't watch it)

but they made it nevertheless. I am sure that 911 would generate more interest than Flight 93.

The trouble is that there were no heroes on 9/11. Bush was reading a book, probably upside down, and running around like the coward that he is and Cheney was in an undisclosed location. People died, the American public was left leaderless and we were sucker punched by a small group of foreigners on a massive scale.

5. If you think it has a chance of being made, submit a script
get some feed back. There is a reason that 95% of all movies are crap. Those movies are used to generate the revenue for the 5% or less of movies that actors and critics enjoy.

3. Perhaps I'm not understanding your question
But there have been several 9/11 movies.

As for a US coup plot, that film will be made 30 years from now by some futuristic Oliver Stone.
