Hollywood Helping Out Pentagon?! - Oct 8, 2001
http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,8936,00.html

Apparently Hollywood and the Pentagon are teaming on a solution to the terror threat: snip

We kid you not. According to Daily Variety, a team of Hollywood creative types--including the masterminds behind MacGyver, Die Hard, Delta Force and, um, Grease--convened in secret last week to present possible terrorist attack scenarios to federal intelligence officials.

And although they may have contributed to the discussion greatly, we're wondering just what the heck were directors Randall Kleiser (Grease) and Mary Lambert (The In Crowd) doing there. snip

James Korris, ICT's creative director confirmed that meetings between the filmmakers and intelligence officials had taken place and that more were being planned, but could not provide information as to what was discussed. He did say however that the meetings were ongoing.

The Army's office of public affairs declined to comment.

Hollywood: The Pentagon's new advisor

Die Hard screenwriter Steve de Souza has revealed he was among a group of Hollywood film makers asked to give advice to the Pentagon following the 11 September attacks.

Last October about two dozen writers and directors were commissioned to brainstorm with Pentagon advisers and officials in an anonymous building in LA. snip

Despite ground rules that details of these sessions would not be publicly discussed, de Souza, who the screenwriter for Die Hard I and II, agreed to talk to BBC One's Panorama in general about the meetings, which have so far been shrouded in secrecy.

"My first thought was if they're coming to me they must be in trouble," de Souza told Panorama.

Secrecy

The sessions were spread over three days. As for the location, he will only say they were held "in a very dark room".
