Tonight at 9 p.m., A&E will air a movie that accounts the events that took place on 9/11 aboard the hijacked Flight 93, which was taken over by force on its way to San Francisco but whose passengers staged an uprising and derailed the hijackers’s plans, Media Life writes.
The $15 million film has an improvised, documentary feel as it re-enacts - in real time - what happened on the ground and inside the plane, the AP reports (via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review).
Several other 9/11-themed projects are in the works, according to that article: Oliver Stone is shooting an untitled 9/11 film; Mike Binder’s Reign O’er Me deals with 9/11-related grief; and a movie based on the book 102 Minutes and a TV miniseries on the 9/11 Commission’s findings are also planned.
