1. Actually the film has been done for quite some time
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 08:20 PM by khephra
and the release date has been changed several times. The few reviewers who have seen it weren't too kind.

3. I know
Was originally supposed to be released before the end of the year (to qualify it for Oscars, presumably), but it was shelved and retooled, so I hear.

2. Probably just Hollywood cashing in
Patriotism IS a hot item in "times of war".

5. Remember the Alamo eh?
Would that be the expansion of slavery or the expulsion of Catholics?
