SEPTEMBER TAPES, or "Blair Witch Goes to Afghanistan"

Caught Jeff Wells' column today, about this upcoming film. Sounds fairly interesting, even if most of the "story" ends up being marketing bullshit.

Quick synopsis: Filmmaker's girlfriend dies in the 9/11 attack. In '02, filmmaker decides to go to Afghanistan with a bounty hunter to see if they can find bin Laden. Much chaos ensues.

Bonus interesting stuff: They really went to Afghanistan, shooting in a war zone with DV cameras. Supposedly a good chunk of what they shot is real, or at least appears to be real.

Bonus marketing stuff: Their footage was supposedly seized by the US Dept of Defense for 5 months, to see if they had shot anything useful.

Bullshit? Sure, why not.

Neat setup? Yeah.

I hope at the end they walk into an abandoned building then the Osama Witch scares someone into standing in a corner.

This Christian Johnson fellow must have brass grapefruits the size of SUV's to pull this off...

If I owned a hat, I would take it off to him.

September 10th?

Everything about this project seems tasteless so far... but I'll wait for more.

Now, if they actually decapitated BIN LADEN on tape then I'd see it

This sounds like such a lame rip-off of Richard Stanley's VOICE OF THE MOON.

Wow

I caught some early footage at Sundance and it blew all of us away. I really expect to be impressed with this.
