LONDON - A British television network plans to broadcast a dramatic, documentary-style film about a fictional assassination of President Bush, the network’s head said Thursday.

The program uses actors and digital manipulation of real footage to show a fictional account of Bush being gunned down after delivering a speech in Chicago, Peter Dale, the head of More4, told a news conference.

“Death of a President,” also scheduled to be shown at the Toronto Film Festival in September, focuses on all those linked to the pretend crime — including nearby anti-war protesters, suspects, Secret Service guards and investigators, Dale said.



I have seen several blogs about this and some are shocked that the British would make such a movie. Maybe they are shocked because no one in the US thought of it. Some said it would invite an attempt on Bush, but I think that is nuts simply because no sane person would want Cheney as president!

Death of a President,


That is the name of the film.

I like this, because Bush must feal that his way of living is not the only way.

I dislike W as much as the next guy, but I think a movie about him being blasted is pretty stupid, and is a waste of time. What is the whole point? People really need to find better ways of using their money, like giving it to me for example. Friggin morons.

Just speculation. Silly thing to make a movie about.

From what i get, its just a small part of the plot. Who knows? Might be good.

Looks like a good movie about Cheney's America. Yes, kiddies, Bush is very docile compared to Cheney. If something happened to Bush today, Iran, Syria, North Korea, and a few other countries would be toast by next month. Cheney is not the type of person Bush is. Bush is working both sides to achieve his means, Cheney will only work one side; death and destruction to ALL who threaten the USA in ANY way.

Cheney won't put up with the kind of crap Bush does. And this filmmaker knows that. At this point in the game, I hope Cheney doesn't become President. But 5 or 10 years from now, if we keep playing Mr. Niceguy like we've been doing for 30 years, we won't have a choice.

I look forward to seeing the movie.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Kicking up a fuss about a fictional movie is stupid. Speculating in a film about an assassination of Bush is no worse than a movie such as Matrix speculating about the future of humanity. If anything the Maxtrix is worse because it's on a larger scale.

Some people are offended that it portrayed Bush's face. The Matrix did not single out a single real person the way Death of a Pres did. Some would argue it went beyond free speach.

I suppose it's a matter of interpretation.
