George W. on the Big Screen

Staunch Republican director/writer/producer Lionel Chetwynd, who sits on the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, is making a film in Ontario concerning the events of 9/11.
The script seems to portray Bush in a very heroic manner, unwilling to bend to the wills of "tinhorn terrorists". I'm sure a few liberties have been taken with the truth.
The real comedy comes into play, though, when you think of the chilly reception Republicans, specifically Bush and his cabinet/administration have given to Canada.
The film is designed to make Bush look good and it's being partially financed by Canadian taxpayers. Canada was selected specifically because of the tax breaks the government grants to film productions. How weird.
The Globe and Mail article that specifically deals with it is here

Here's some background links:

Will it be entitled "Triumph of the Will Part Two", by any chance?
