Oliver Stone Takes A Stand

Posted by James Hughes Jun 29, 2006

Even before World Trade Centre comes to cinemas, Oliver Stone has already announced his next project.

Son Of The Morning Star is based on Evan Connell's best seller, and centres around the story of another great leader. That of George Armstrong Custer, whose last stand at the Little Big Horn in 1876 is now part of folklore.

The screenplay by Mark Wheaton has turned the infamous western story into a political thriller.

Perhaps spurred on by taking a more controlled approach to his 9/11 film, Stone is now back in the political waters where he swims best.

The film itself is due to be released in 2007. Check back later for confirmation of the cast and a release date.
