Disney Channel Gets Serious with Sept. 11 Film

The Disney Channel, a cable outlet better known for its light entertainment, has started production on film set against the backdrop of the Sept. 11 attacks.

"Tiger Cruise," starring Bill Pullman and Hayden Panettiere, is a fictional spin on a real-life incident involving a naval carrier called into full combat alert while children and other civilians were on board.

... "Cruise" is based on Operation Tiger, an annual Navy event that allows sailors to invite their families to ship out with them for a week. In 2001, the attacks in New York and Washington occurred two days into Operation Tiger, effectively trapping the families on the USS Constellation as it mobilized in the Pacific Ocean.

I wonder what the timeline is on it. Doesn't say in the article but I hope it comes out after the election. People confuse movies and real life almost as a constant, nowadays. Would suck to somehow see this turn into an encore for Bush.

But I don't understand why people always equate Bush with the military. Isn't is possible to be sympathetic to military families and what they go through without being sympathetic to the sitting president?
