#1 If Stone is only allowed to"...use incidents from the president's real life in the film." and the film will indeed imitate life, then the film will indeed be only a SHORT feature.....

#4 Here are some more tidbits for your reading pleasure:

News about the proposed film project "has amazed and worried many friends of Islamic Iran's honour and power and those concerned about its reputation," according to one Iranian commentator.

"How can one trust a person... who, despite efforts at proclaiming himself to represent the opposition in America's ruling system, is in line and in accordance with the essence and the overall policies of this system," wrote Elham Rajabpur in the conservative Tehran daily Keyhan.

The writer objected to several of Stone's films including Alexander ("a hated figure among Iranians") and The Doors (about "one of America's perverted and half-mad singers").

"We are afraid that the outcome of [Stone's Iranian film] venture will not be the true and realistic portrayal of an intellectual and a peacemaker such as Ahmadinejad, but a portrayal of Ahmadinejad according to Stone, Hollywood, and global Zionism."

The Doors---our secret weapon, LOL!
