| Iran is to make its own movie about the American hostage drama during the 1979 Islamic revolution to counter the "distorted" film Argo by Ben Affleck, which swept the Golden Globes awards, media said.
Iranian actor and filmmaker Ataollah Salmanian was quoted in the reports on Tuesday as saying the screenplay for the Iranian movie was ready.
"The draft of the movie, Setad Moshtarak (The General staff), has been approved by (Iran's) art centre and it awaits budget to start shooting," Salmanian said. "The movie is about 20 American hostages who were handed over to the US embassy by Iranian revolutionaries at the beginning of the (Islamic) revolution. This movie ... can be an appropriate response to distorted movies such as Argo."
