Yep. Already. Well, why not.
Dominic Patten at Deadline.com:
Screenwriters Eric Johnson and Paul Tamasy have picked up feature rights to Boston Strong, I’ve learned. The forthcoming book by Casey Sherman and Boston Herald reporter Dave Wedge examines the city’s reaction to the fatal April 15 Patriots’ Day attacks at the Boston Marathon finsh line and the hunt for the siblings suspecting of carrying out the bombings.
On one hand, it seems too soon. On the other hand, no matter how many liberties the script takes with those events, it won’t be as bad as CNN’s coverage.
I wonder if they’ll ever make a movie about how the Tsarnaev brothers came to America, took advantage of our freedoms, were coddled by bleeding-heart Massachusetts liberals, and returned the favor by planting a bomb right next to a little kid? How about a movie that lays out all the warning signs the authorities ignored? How about showing why it happened, so maybe next time, the “independently radicalized” terrorists are stopped before they can hurt anybody? How about explaining why Boston had to be strong, after so many people failed them?
Just kidding. Who’d want to watch a movie like that?
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is being arraigned tomorrow, by the way. It’d be a shame if he tripped and fell up the courthouse steps. Say, 30 or 40 times. That’d be too bad.
