Any word on whether Oliver Stone is still going to make "Son of the Morning Star" ?

Son of the Morning Star was the title of Evan Connell's great book about George Armstrong Custer and his defeat at the Little Big Horn in 1876 by combined Native American tribes. There was a very good tv mini series made in the 90's based on Connell's book A new book by James Donovan (A Terrible Glory) is an equally great book that would be an excellent source for a new motion picture.. In both books Custer is treated with balance and fairness. He was neither a mythical hero or a glory seeking madman. Custer was complex and contradictory with no shortage of vanity. He was also quite smart and accomplished with some very enlightened views about the treatment of Native Americans and the corruption of the Bureau of Indian Affairs...

Apparently it is in production (though IMDb and other movie sites have no word of it yet)

But I found information about the film at this site:

Also there is a Oliver Stone webpage where you can email questions. And a message board is included:

A good summation of Custer too.
