CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - American director Oliver Stone and British producer John Daly plan to make a film about the 2002 coup that briefly brought down Venezuela's government, President Hugo Chavez said Sunday.
Chavez said Stone and Daly plan to announce the upcoming film at the Cannes Film Festival in France. He added that the two called Venezuela Sunday morning to discuss their plans.
"They've asked for our permission to announce it today in Cannes, and we've told them yes, that we're interested in that film being made," Chavez said during his weekly television and radio program.

Wow! Talk about the proverbial birds of a feather.

Will they include a segment about Hugo's own attempt to overthrow the legitimate government of Venezuela a decade earlier?

But will Hugo star as himself or at least have a cameo appearance? Hmm, maybe Brad Pitt will get the starring role.... no, maybe Antonio Banderas... who, who??? Oooh, this is just so exciting!!!

Birds of a feather often flock together..in this case ugly guys hang out together. Or maybe we can describe them as the bully and the beast. Or Stone's obsession with alpha males...

Unfrickinbelievable. Then again, maybe, sadly, quite believable.

The movie's not going to be called "Triumph of the Wills II" is it?
To: Bangupjob
And some expect a "fair and balanced" movie about 9/11 from Stone.
