Movie News: Oliver Stone Gathers No Moss

Oliver Stone directs Colin Farrell -- "I'm pushing your lion button -- now roar!"

Platoon leader Oliver Stone has been working on an on-again, off-again biopic of Iranian President and hostage-taker Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (!) The Pres himself sent a spokesman out to pooh-pooh Stone's efforts, calling the burly auteur part of "the great satan" which led to this gem of a remark from the man who directed Val Kilmer in The Doors: "I have been called a lot of things, but never a great satan. I wish the Iranian people well, and only hope their experience with an inept, rigid ideologue president goes better than ours." Reports are that Ahmadinejad now has "no objection" to the film. Hmmmm...
