W.T.C. removed from ZOOLANDER too!

Harry here, well it seems like the adjusting to current affairs is continuing as an emergency digital erasing of the World Trade Center was quickly enacted by the filmmakers of ZOOLANDER, according to this report. With SPIDER-MAN doing the same, you have to wonder how wide spread this is going to be. I had one letter already that suggested that Spielberg should remove the WTC from the DVD edition of A.I. since it is no longer accurate pre-history. Sigh... progress on the march I suppose...

harry,

saw the story on the removal of the WTC from spiderman and thought you might be interested in this little tidbit as well -

my roomate works for a small FX house here in LA called Pacific Vision. they have just finished a last minute removal of the WTC from a scene in Ben Stiller's new film, Zoolander. apparently, there was a shot of a building with a big "z" on the top (or maybe the bad-guys headquarters) that had the WTC and the rest of the skyline in it.

just figured I'd pass that along.
