Oliver Stone's World Trade Center

Watch the trailer. It's very moving and better than I thought (or hoped) it would be.

UPDATE: Here's a blurb from IMDB.com:

In the aftermath of the World Trade Center disaster, hope is still alive. Refusing to bow down to terrorism, rescuers and family of the victims press forward. Their mission of rescue and recovery is driven by the faith that under each piece of rubble, a co-worker, a friend a family member may be found. This is the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, the last two survivors extracted from Ground Zero and the rescuers who never gave up. It's a story of the true heroes of that fateful time in the history of the United States when buildings would fall and heroes would rise, literally from the ashes to inspire the entire human race.
Say what you will about Oliver Stone's politics, but (with very few exceptions) his movies are always worth watching. His movie Nixon succeeded in doing something I thought impossible -- it softened my heart and made me feel compassion for the poor bastard (Nixon, that is). His best movies -- Platoon, Wall Street, Any Given Sunday, and yes, JFK -- have an emotional and physical heft that make them irresistable. And they're great to look at too.

I'm looking forward to World Trade Center.
