Stephen Baldwin making oil spill doco

Stephen Baldwin has spoken out about the documentary he is directing and producing about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Explaining the genesis of the project, called The Will To Drill, Baldwin revealed he had been in New Orleans to discuss a screenplay he had penned when he travelled to Louisiana and witnessed the devastation first-hand.

“I got into a car and drove the two hours down to Plaquemines Parish – which was the ground zero of this situation – and met the people in the process of considering all of this,” the 44-year-old said.

“This is a situation that is far worse than anybody is expressing at this point. Each and every day, as the situation gets worse and worse, it becomes more of a motivation for me to want to have the documentary be potentially as impactful as I believe it can,” The Usual Suspects star told PopEater.
