"LONDON, England (Reuters) -- British public broadcaster Channel 4 is courting controversy with what it calls a "shockingly real" drama about the fictional assassination of President George W. Bush.
"Death of a President," shot in the form of a documentary examining the assassination, will use a blend of archival footage and computer-generated special effects to portray Bush in October 2007 arriving in Chicago during an anti-war rally.
In the film, Bush is killed by a sniper, and the investigation quickly focuses on a Syrian-born man. It will air in October on Channel 4's More4 digital channel, as well as at the Toronto Film Festival in September."

Posted: 8/31/06 at 2:54pmhmmmm, comes out in october, eh? i wonder if that would leave enough time to do interviews outside the film and turn them into a gop ad before the election?
