Oliver Stone's Pinkville

According to the trades, Oliver Stone is in final negotiations with United Artists to finance Pinkville, a mystery drama he plans to direct about the infamous 1968 My Lai massacre that ended up being a key turning point in the Vietnam War. Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum are set to star in the picture, which will have an estimated budget of $40 million and be distributed through MGM. Willis will play Army General William R. Peers, the man who oversaw the investigation into the horrendous slaughter of 350 to 500 Vietnamese civilians by U.S. troops in the village of My Lai. Most of the victims were defenseless women, children and elderly, and the incident and a subsequent cover-up by the military helped galvanize opposition to American intervention in southeast Asia. Tatum, (who I haven't really heard that much about) will play Hugh Thompson, the courageous helicopter pilot who managed to halt the carnage by putting his chopper down between the attackers and the few remaining villagers still alive. After subsequently reporting the incident to his superiors, Thompson was reprimanded for his actions.
Sounds good!!!
