There’s the need to be respectful to the survivors and the families while creating a compelling film. And that’s just what goes into the writing and filming of the movie – then you … Continue reading
I don’t think you had to be a marketing genius to figure out what would be the image on the poster for Clint Eastwood’s Iwo Jima movie, Flags of our Fathers, would be.
