Former US president Jimmy Carter joined the ranks of movie stars like Brad Pitt and George Clooney at the world premiere of "Man from Plains," the biopic about his life, which premiered Monday at the Toronto film festival.Apparently "Man From Plains," was not the original title for the movie--it was "He Comes in Peace." I suppose they changed the title because of it's similarity to "I Come in Peace," the B movie with Dolph Lundgren about an alien crook.
The documentary by Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Demme ("The Silence of the Lambs" and "Philadelphia") follows Carter on a promotional tour eight months ago for his controversial book "Palestine Peace, not Apartheid."
All you need to know is that before he kills someone, the alien says, "I come in peace"--which would have lent itself to an obvious comparison to Jimmy Carter.
