Martin Sheen and Woody Harrelson to star in 9/11 'truther' film September Morn



Radical view: The film appears to support the conspiracy theory that the September 11 attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government

The tragic events of September 11 have been dramatized several times on the big screen over the past decade, but now a new film starring Woody Harrelson and Martin Sheen takes another look at the attacks, this time from the perspective of conspiracy theorists.

The movie, called September Morn, supports some of the claims made by members of the 'truther' movement, which has questioned the established version of the events of September 11, namely that the attacks were planned and carried out by Osama Bin Laden and al Qaeda operatives.

An advanced publicity note describing the film reads: ‘We the people demand that the government revisits and initiates a thorough and independent investigation to the tragic events of 9/11. In the vein of “Twelve Angry Men” this dramatic piece is set with a stellar and award winning cast.'

BJ Davis, whose previous credits include the 1989 Lee sci-fi movie Laser Mission and the TV special Charlie Sheen's Stunts Spectacular, is set to direct a script by first-time screenwriter Howard Cohen.

The film will also star Ed Asner, who voiced the character of Carl Fredricksen in Pixar's Oscar-winning Up, and Esai Morales, who most recently appeared in Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike.

According to the official synopsis, the movie aims to ‘provide an insight into the findings of the 9/11 Commission, intertwined with provocative perspectives of expert architects and scientists, CIA and Department of Defense officials, Department of Homeland Security officials and concerned American citizens.’

Both Sheen and Harrelson have previously aligned themselves with the ‘truther’ movement, publicly calling on the government to launch a full-scale investigation into what really happened on September 11.

The Huffington Post noted that Sheen said in a 2007 interview, ‘I did not want to believe that my government could possibly be involved in such a thing, I could not live in a country that I thought could do that – that would be the ultimate betrayal.

‘However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 – how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?’

Conspiracy cornerstone: The collapse of 7 World Trade Center on 9/11 is at the heart of the 'truth movement'

Sheen was referring to 7 World Trade Center, the collapse of which many 'truthers' point to as key evidence of a conspiracy.

Past films which focused on 9/11, among them Oliver Stone's 2006 feature World Trade Center and Paul Greengrass' United 93, shied away from the possibility that the deadly attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government, according to Yahoo! Movies .

September Morn is being produced by the company Fleur De Lis Studios, which also was behind the documentary A Noble Lie about the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
