Oliver Stone - JFK

[MartynH]

I was watching Stone's commentary on the deleted scenes of the above film the other day. At the end he, quite out of the blue, stated, if he would have been alive, Orson Welles should have made this film. He wasn't sure where Welles stood on the assassination, but he would have been right as the case is one big jigsaw. I found that quite a humbling thing for Stone to say.

Before commercial constraints and isolation from Hollywood resulted in Stone's exclusion, he was very much interested in the late Welles's approach. As an independent, Welles could have been attracted to such a project. Note his "fake" story in F FOR FAKE and its associations with "fake news" of today. I also think Stone's NIXON has been criminally neglected. http://filmint.nu/?p=13180.
