Charlie Sheen's upcoming Sept. 11 drama "9/11" is already pissing people off, especially "SNL" star Pete Davidson.
The trailer (below) was released just a few days ago, and immediately met with criticism for being "unsubtle," "inauthentic" and a "terrible idea."
Davidson and thousands of others have particular reason to take offense: They lost a loved one in the terror attack that brought down New York City's iconic World Trade Center.
The comedian, who's dad died in the attack, called out Sheen in a since-deleted Instagram post Monday night.
"Spoiler alert: I know how it ends..I would respect this movie more if it had Vin Diesel driving a Lambo out of Tower 2 at the last second. F-ck this movie. NOT ONLY THAT BUT YOUR STAR OF THE MOVIE CHARLIE SHEEN IS A 9/11 CONSPIRACY THEORIST. YOU F-CK," he wrote.

The film appears to focus on five people, including Sheen, who are trapped in an elevator in the World Trade Center's North Tower on 9/11 and must work together to escape. Whoopi Goldberg also stars in the film, which doesn't look like it will be receiving any Oscar nominations, as a security guard who assists in getting the group out of the elevator -- if they don't plummet to their deaths first.
Davidson joined many others slamming the trailer on Twitter for various reasons beyond a 9/11 conspiracy theorist's involvement.
If we had to sum up the trailer for this Charlie Sheen '9/11' movie in one word, it would be 'offensive': https://t.co/pYbH8QVaMD pic.twitter.com/stTFsbf4et

Hollywood continues to make a movies that are terrible ideas, and a 9/11 movie starring Charlie Sheen has to be the worst one yet

Disgusting cash grab. No wonder they could only get Charlie Sheen to be the lead. Hope it's an abysmal failure.

If Charlie Sheen doesn't say "that sounds like a controlled demolition..." at some point in his 9/11 movie he's a coward.

charlie sheen
nothing says 9/11 like charlie sheen
Cheesy.- Trying too hard to elicit a certain response from the audience; unsubtle, inauthentic.
