SHOWTIME COMMEMORATES SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11 TRAGEDY WITH THE ORIGINAL PICTURE "DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS"

NEW YORK, July 31, 2003 ? SHOWTIME will present the Original Picture DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS on Sunday, September 7 at 8:00 PM ET/PT to commemorate the second anniversary of the September 11 attacks. DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS focuses on the difficult decisions and tasks faced by President Bush and his staff on September 11, 2001 and the days following the attacks. Based on in-depth interviews and extensive research, the docudrama will interweave actual footage of these haunting events.
DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS stars an ensemble cast, including: Timothy Bottoms as President George W. Bush, John Cunningham as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, David Fonteno as Secretary of State Colin Powell, Gregory Itzin as Attorney General John Ashhahahahaha, Penny Johnson Jerald as National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Stephen Macht as Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Mary Gordon Murray as First Lady Laura Bush, Lawrence Pressman as Vice President Dick Cheney, Scott Alan Smith as White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer and George Takei as U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.
The film is executive produced by Robert Halmi, Sr., produced by Lionel Chetwynd and co-produced by John Vasey. Chetwynd also wrote the film. DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS, a Lionel Chetwynd production, is directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith.
DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS takes an inside look at the Bush Administration, beginning on the day of the attacks. The film follows the President on board Air Force One, at the White House and during his journey to Ground Zero. It culminates with Bush?s now-famous national address nine days later.
The film recounts the tragic events from the moment Bush hears the news of the attacks to significant briefings with advisors, as well as the President?s addresses to the nation from Barksdale Air Force Base and the White House. Chronicling national security meetings, which piece together evidence linking Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda network, the film uncovers how Bush and his staff dealt with the volatile situation. In addition, DC 9/11: TIME OF CRISIS illustrates the Administration?s strategy for responding both to the terrorists and the American people. Eschewing their own feelings and healing process, the President and his team instead tended to the needs of a wounded country.
