For once, the conservative elements of Hollywood (Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammar, Delta Burke, Ben Stein, Arnold, Chuck Norris, Steven Baldwin, etc.) should make THEIR version of the inevitable movie depicting the heroic takedown of America's Enemy #1.
That cast sounds a bit more like "TV movie", truth be told. I don't recall any of these guys having serious producer credits to their names - makes it a bit hard to come up with the $100+ million you'd need for a worthwhile production. Stealth helicopter scenes aren't cheap.

I'd absolutely pick "Ben Stein, Navy Seal" up, once it hit the DVD bin.
They're from Austin, so it's not guaranteed they're conservative.
I'd disagree that Red Dawn was the last major conservative Hollywood film. Forrest Gump is total right wing propaganda. The Passion Of The Christ isn't liberal. BTW, Arnold while a Repub is not a conservative. Maybe they could get Mel Gibson....
ZZ Top is actually from Houston, not Austin. And they're definitely not conservative according to many of their interviews that i've read.
In any case, i still can't believe that people are politicizing this thing to the point that they're already talking about who should make the movie first. LOL...ridiculous.

They could get Mel Gibson to star in it and produce it. Although Gibson's name value an actor is sinking down to TV movie level, he's still a big name as a producer/director. (I'd substitute Gibson for Arnold because Arnold's a centrist not a con)

There is a reason you don't see those people very much in front of the camera. I doubt that any of them have enough pull in hollywood to get even a crappy tv movie produced that you would see on Lifetime.

The last major conservative Hollywood flick was Red Dawn:
Red Dawn, lol. Wasn't that the movie about a group of high school kids who take on the Soviet military?

Conservatives couldn't even FIND bin Laden. How in the hell are they going to make a movie about President Obama's precision mission without distorting it like everything else? No thanks.
My favorite part of Red Dawn was the utterly ludicrous idea of the Red Army launched an amphibious crossing of the Bering Strait, then crossed hundred of miles of trackless lakes, wetlands and braided rivers in western Alaska (and the occasional mountain range) before getting to the only highway that it could drive down to the Lower 48 - which, conveniently, the U.S. didn't take out.
The fascinating part is trying to figure out the most laughably implausible aspect of that scenario.
Then there's the crack Spetsnaz troops fleeing in terror from high school students... the idea that the Soviets could infiltrate American air space en masse as deep as Wyoming using 'transports disguised as airliners' (I guess no one thought it odd that suddenly there were several dozen flights scheduled in a single day from Vladivostok to Cheyenne?)... and the Soviet colonel who wears all his medals (the actual medals) on his uniform, while in the field in a combat zone while anti-partisan actions...
