A new biopic on George Washington is being tossed about in Hollywood. In fact a script has been written, a name has been chosen, a studio has taken on the project, and a director has been chosen. The movie will be called "The General", the studio will be Paramount Pictures, and the director will be Darren Aronofsky who directed "Black Swan" and is working on "Noah." I'm really not sure. As a Movie Production teacher as well as a US History teacher, I've seen some incredible historical films made. Some incredibly accurate. I've also seen some historical figures and events being manipulated, changed, and butchered. So, I'll reserve my judgment on this endeavor, but I must admit I'm hesitate. Your thoughts?
