James Vanderbilt's Truth, the high-profile movie chronicling the scandal that derailed Dan Rather's career, has gotten the greenlight to begin shooting this fall.

Gosh, why oh why doesn't anyone go to the movies anymore? Could it be that people don't want to pay $15 per ticket to watch crap?

Googled him. Unlikely as it may be, he actually is one of those Vanderbilts.

“Brett Ratner’s RatPac Entertainment and Echo Lake Entertainment will finance the movie, starring Robert Redford as the iconic news anchor and Cate Blanchett as Mary Mapes, Rather’s producer.”

Oh please spare me. These idiots never give up.

Robert Redford as a leading man? 1968 was a very long time ago.

Look for it to go straight to video after a quick token release in a few dozen theatres.

This is why the leftists worked so hard all those years to gain control of the opinion-forming mechanisms: education, churches, newspapers, TV, movies, books, magazines, even editorial cartoons.

So: one of their minions was caught falsifying a story intended to take down a Republican president. The situation was so clear-cut that she and her boss were both fired from CBS News. She responded by writing a dishonest, self-serving book attempting to justify their actions. The book was instantly accepted and sold aggressively by a major publisher - despite the author's complete lack of credibility. Now it becomes the basis for a major motion picture that will define how the clueless remember their slander and lies - as a heroic attempt to tell the truth that was silenced by hateful conservatives.

A few years ago, FR might have been effective in countering the Left's narrative. Those days are gone.

hmm. I could be wrong but those Bush era anti-war films made a pittance. Guess these big money financiers are ok with wasting money that won’t return a huge profit.

I suspect they are going to omit the role Dan Rather played in the equally fake “Secret prison” scandal where one of his peons got caught running his own prison in Afghanistan. They were going to pin that on our forces.

Apologies. I didn’t see your post..and posted it again about an hour ago.

I wonder if “Kenneth” will make an appearance?

Mythology Entertainment is the driving force behind Truth
