Well one has to question the premise that there were stacks of war-movie scripts just gathering dust in vaults; Hollywood as a rule is NOT innovative, and money slated to be invested in a proprosed film will more often go to tried-and-true story lines rather than something new... And war movies have NOT been money-makers in recent memory... So I doubt that there were gobs of war-themed scripts just sitting around, but even if their were, then one has to ask WHY scriptwriters suddenly decided to start writing scripts using a theme that at the time would not have seemed very promising in regards to getting the interest of investors who are only interested in making a handsome profit on the film they invest in... And even if war-themed scripts were sitting around just waiting to be made, it still takes a good 2 or more years to get a film made, from the time of drumming up enough investment money to getting all the principles signed to the actual filming to the post-production work of editing and scoring; in other words, long gone are the days where studios cranked out films in just a few weeks time...that went out with the 1930s... To put it more bluntly, none of these films were made AFTER Sept. 11, 2001, they were made well before that date, and one has to wonder WHY Hollywood suddenly decided that war films would be profitable, especially considering that not one of these films was ever scheduled to be released before Sept, 2001, but after that date.... It would seem that *someone* not only knew that such films would suddenly become popular (e.g., profitable), but also knew that they would be popular after September, 2001.... I can't help but remember American Movie Channel's special a month or two ago regarding the cozy relationship that Hollywood has with the spook agencies, especially the CIA; the documentary showed how the CIA has actually been DICTATING to Hollywood what sort of films to make, and has been doing so since the 1950s... So perhaps 'The Agency' set the ball rolling 2 to 3 years ago in Hollywood to get these war films made; it also suggests that if this is so, then the CIA knew that *something* was going to happen in September 2001 that would make the release of these films starting in October of 2001 profitable...
