Bruce Willis will star in an Oliver Stone film about the My Lai massacre, perhaps the most infamous atrocity to emerge from the Vietnam War. In other Stone news, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he has "no objection, generally speaking," to the director's rumored desire to make a biopic about him but that Stone would need to "let me know what are the frameworks."
