Vietnam has always played a large part in Oliver Stone’s life. So, it comes as no surprise that the Oscar-winning Platoon director is eyeing a return to that sacred ground.
According to the trades, Stone is in final negotiations with United Artists to finance Pinkville, a mystery drama he plans to direct about the infamous 1968 My Lai massacre that ended up being a key turning point in the Vietnam War. Really true, America and it’s people along with film makers have not been able to get over America’s failure in Vietnam and they have a story every now and again that they like to tell us. There have been comedy movies, war time movies and movies about the way brutality took place during the war, but yet they’ll find something more they’d like us to know about. Vietnam has been well documented and perhaps we all more than what we can digest but the appetite of Hollywood film makers are larger than the 7 oceans on the planet.
