Oliver Stone Back to Vietnam
Oliver Stone is finishing up a deal with United Artists to finance “Pinkville,” a drama about the 1968 My Lai massacre that he would direct.
Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum will star. Mikko Alanne wrote the script.
A UA commitment could be finalized this week, putting the picture into production by early next year, with a budget of roughly $40 million.
It marks the fourth time Stone has directed a film set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, following Oscar winner “Platoon,” “Heaven & Earth,” and “Born on the Fourth of July.” “Pinkville” also reunites the director with Tom Cruise, who starred in “Born on the Fourth of July” and who, with partner Paula Wagner, is now a co-owner of UA.
