Remember this bile? Glutton for punishment, this moron. Or else he’s a complete idiot. Or perhaps a plain old Troop hater.

How about all of the above…they even used a Bash Vid to help promote their tripe.

Did you know that to this day “Redacted”, which we helped lead the boycott against with great success, has grossed only about $70,000? Come on man, it tied with Ed Wood’s “Plan 9 From Outer Space” as the lowest grossing movie of all-time, and Wood’s film was 1950′s dollars!

Apparently the film’s tentative title is “Print the Legend” and he wants to focus on the whole Jessica Lynch thing. Proving again, that he despises the troops that protect the very freedoms he enjoys…

The production company is Film Farm.

The budget is allegedly $15 million. Let’s see, “Redacted” had a $5 million budget and grossed $70,000, so this one can be predicted to gross about $210,000.

From Cannes, an excerpt from an article via Politico:

Brian DePalma isn’t one to give up easily, either. Skewered last year by conservative critics for the box-office flop “Redacted,” the controversial director is returning to the Iraq war as the subject matter of his next picture.

That’s the news from Cannes, where Canadian distribution company Film Farm says it will back two new DePalma pictures: the director’s next Iraq attack and a more conventional political thriller with a higher budget.

DePalma, who got into a public spat with his previous distributor over last year’s low-budget, cinéma vérité flick about battlefield atrocities committed by a group of U.S. soldiers, plans to title his newest project “Print the Legend.”

“Redacted” was partly based on the rape of an Iraqi girl and the murder of her family by American soldiers in what has come to be known as the Mahmudiyah killings. This time around, the director is basing his script on the true-life story of U.S. Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch, whose capture and subsequent rescue in Iraq was later revealed to have been greatly exaggerated by the Pentagon.

[...]

“Redacted,” which drew the ire of both movie critics and pundits, including Bill O’Reilly and Michael Medved, was budgeted at around $5 million but grossed less than $70,000 at the U.S. box office during its brief and disappointing run. The movie sparked protests not only against DePalma but also against Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, whose Magnolia Pictures produced and distributed the picture.

The title of DePalma’s new flick, “Print the Legend,” comes from a line in the 1962 John Ford western “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” and refers to promulgating rumors and half-truths, rather than actual events, to sell newspapers.
