Steven Spielberg in Negotiations to do Armenian Genocide Film

[Mercury]

Steven Spielberg and Zaillian collaborated on Schinder's List. Spielberg also produced and directed the movie Munich.

It is hoped that the film will be ready by 2015, in time for the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The date of the beginning of the Armenian Genocide is conventionally held to be April 24, 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities arrested some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.

The Armenian Genocide has also been called the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, the Great Crime. The number of Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and one and a half million.



Turkey continues to deny the existence of the Armenian Genocide ever occurred. Instead, Turkey says that while that during World War I, many Armenians died, the number of Armenian victims has been greatly inflated.

The country continues to face calls to accept the events of that period as genocide. Reportedly, to date, twenty countries have officially recognized the events of the period as genocide. Most historians also accept this view.

Gevorg Gevorgyan, Director of the Armenfilm studio and of the National Film Center in Yerevan said, "By the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide we must show the world a film that would be even more impressive than Mayrik or Ararat. Armenian and foreign actors will play in the film."

This Kike has loosened up since Schindlers list?

Sounds a lot like a PR outreach project to the Armenians, especially after their head-butting with fatass Foxman.

I hope he does. It would be very big of him to recognize that there have been others genocides throughout history.

I'd also like to see negative pressure placed upon Turkey. Can you imagine if the Germans had the nerve to deny the Jewish genocide the way the Turks do?

Well I question the alleged genocide of the Germans against the Jews, so I guess I have the noive. I absolutely do not believe in the gassings, and I question the extent of the activities of the Einsatzgruppen.

As far as Armenians go, I don't know much about it and don't care either way. Such conflicts are heavily political and the victim side likes to use it for political mileage, as Zionists do with the Jewish experience. For that reason alone, if you ask me, such genocides should be looked at very closely and not taken blindly on face value.

He will. Spielberg is very soppy and wears his Jewishness on his sleeve, even while he poisons the Jewish community with his adoption of black children. Keep in mind in his movie Amistad, he carefully only showed rosary-holding Christians as slave owners.

But it could take some attention away from the Holocaust if there were some sort of international effort to force Turkey to recognize the Armenian genocide.

I'd watch Schindler's List over The Pianist any day.
