CONTROVERSIAL director Oliver Stone’s film about the devastating September 11 attacks opened in the US last night.

Controversial director Oliver Stone’s film about the devastating September 11 attacks opens in the US tonight.

Director Oliver Stone has begun shooting one of the first Hollywood films about the September 11 2001 attacks in New York – without recreating the large-scale devastation all too familiar to people who lived through the outrage.

Michael Pena, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Maria Bello have been added to the cast of Oliver Stone’s forthcoming film about the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York.

The last two people to be pulled alive from the destroyed World Trade Centre today told how they were saved by a pair of handcuffs.
