Why hasn't Hollywood stepped up to the plate on the solution to the threat from the terrorist organization now known as IS?

Update:

...formerly known as ISIS, formerly known as ISIL.

Hollywood has well documented expertise on just about every subject of public concern imaginable, from nuclear energy (The China Syndrome), global warming (The Day After Tomorrow, An Inconvenient Truth), slavery (Once a Slave), political scandal (All The Presidents Men), previous terrorist attacks (Farenheit 911) and presidential assasinations (JFK).

Why are all the big stars silent on the biggest terrorist threat in history?

    Don't worry, they'll step up and make a movie about it once it's all died down.

    Because they have no interest in helping...

    I saw a 1940 movie the other night called Mortal Storm with Jimmy Stewart. Obviously geared toward letting us know about Hitler .. because in the end .. the Nazis came out on top. Very sad ending. Curious too because Jimmy Stewart became a Brigadier General in the war [real not acting]. Not that many people in Hollywood today that could do that except Tom Hanks/Stephen Spielberg and a few others.

    Hollywood doesn't have any expertise in anything to do with the subject. They make movies about events years after they happened once all the facts are in.

    There will probably be war movies in a few years about these events.

    Meanwhile, I couldn't care less what Tom Cruise thinks the military should be doing.

    Hollywood makes "War" movies...

    ....they don't make "don't call it a "war" because as long as I don't use any words that make people think of Bush, my gullible followers will continue to love me" moves...
