On September 26 Oliver Stone will join his son Sean, in Iran. They are trying to get permission to shoot a movie there.

Stone’s last documentary was about anti-U.S. Latin American leaders: “South of the Border”.

Stone’s last big budget movie was “Alexander: Fortune Favors the Bold”, and yes like most people who saw it, Iranians did not like it.

Alexander the Great is not a hero to the Iranians, especially since he massacred most of the Zoroastrian priests, and destroyed their temples. Iran banned the movie from being shown in theaters.  Oliver Stone’s version is based on an outdated 1970’s history book.

In 2009, Stone tried to do a documentary on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but claims scheduling conflicts ended that project.  No word on what kind of movie he wants to make now.
