When the United States went to war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the film industry soon followed suit. Movies like “Flying Tigers” (1942), “Wake Island” (1942) and “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo” (1944) rallied the nation to the Allied cause.

Conservative author and pundit Andrew Klavan says Hollywood’s blame-America-first reaction to 9/11 boils down to fear.

“ just will not grasp this nettle for fear of looking like bigots,” Mr. Klavan says.
...
It’s not exactly what presidential adviser Karl Rove had in mind when he approached Jack Valenti, then head of the Motion Picture Association of America, in November 2001. Mr. Rove hoped to gin up a repeat of Hollywood’s response to World War II, but the effort never gained traction.

Figures Karl Rove would want to revive the horrific racist WWII-era movies and cartoons.

1. Jerry Bruckheimer would be the most likley candidate to make such a movie

and he is politically right of center.

But I don't think anything is on the horizon.

I got over 9/11 a long time ago, and it is time for these clowns to stop milking it for all they can get.

2. There's been plenty of movies dealing with terrorism

both before and after 9/11. The whole premise of their argument itself is incredibly stupid. All conservatives want is a venue for their propaganda.

3. Maddow/Engel documentary

was really good. Much different perspective than all the rest. Catch it when it's replayed.
