Here is a funny little side note to the Iran stuff I’ve been writing about. It seems that Oliver Stone has a hankering to make a film about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mahmoud has told Stone no. This is from a news24.com piece.
Ahmadinejad’s media advisor, Mehdi Kalhor, said that Stone had requested to make a film about Ahmadinejad which was however rejected by the president.
“We have already seen his documentaries - even though Stone is considered a member of the opposition group in the US, it is still part of the Great Satan,” he said.
“We believe American cinema is void of real art and culture and largely used as a mouthpiece,” he added.
Iran has called the U.S. “The Great Satan” since 1979.
