Oliver Stone is said to be making another Vietnam set movie. According to Variety, Stone is set to direct PINKVILLE over at United Artists, and wants Bruce Willis to star in it. The trade also reports that Channing Tatum
will play 'Hugh Thompson, a helicopter pilot who, upon realizing what
was happening below, put a stop to the killing by placing his craft
between gunmen and the few villagers who were left, and telling his two
shipmates to fire on the soldiers if they shot any more people. They
airlifted the survivors and reported the carnage to superiors.'
According to the trade, the film focuses on the Mai Lai massacre and sees Willis play Army General William R. Peers, who supervised the
investigation into the massacre by U.S. soldiers of as many as 500 villagers, most of them unarmed women, children and elderly.
