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.

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone is to make a film based on the true story of two police officers trapped in the rubble after the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York.
