I don't know why I thought of this now, but I could swear that when they were showing trailers on the TV, promoting the mini-series, they showed footage of a soldier on horseback shooting himself. In the actual mini-series, there is one suicide, but its a young trooper dismounted, killing his wounded buddy and then himself.
Anyone else remember this from the trailer? Or am I just crazy?

I don't recall seeing that in the trailers. But I don't recall the trailers clearly. But it's not uncommon for scenes to be in trailers that aren't in the movie.

Yes . . . sometimes they "tease" us with scenes that never are shown in the final version.
Another scene in SOMS is the depiction of two warrior struggling with a trooper who has one hand cut off while the Indians try to finish him off!

Now what we need is a DVD featuring outtakes and deleted scenes!
Had a quick look on IMDb to see of there was any sign of same (there isn't) -- and found that, intriguingly, they're still listing the Oliver Stone one as if it were a live project. They give a release date of 2007. No details, howver, apart from the basic production team, so it's presumably in movie limbo after all ...

I thought the new one was still a live project. Valhalla has been in development hell, and presumably is DOA.
Who knows, though, with Stone doing his 9/11 movie first.

Well, if IMDb is up to date (& it isn't always) he's got his writer and his producers, but not even the faintest whiff of a cast ... Quite a scramble to get it out by next year, I'd have thought! Hope it happens.

Elisabeth
pray a Stone version of SOMS or anything doesn't get out. It'd be "Natural Born Indian Killers"
No thanx. Been there.
