I don't know how I feel about this. I don't feel it's exploitative; I feel there is a place in our culture for art about current events. But it may be too soon in two ways. First, too soon for the details to have come clear. Ali_wildgoose above mentioned the current gaps in our knowledge of the events of the day - even if we're sure about Flight 93, it may not be set in the right setting.
Not that it would be the first movie about a dire and true tragedy that muffs up history, or even the real point and poignancy of the story, but that's where the second reason it may be too soon comes in; it may hurt more to get things wrong (Expecially with an excess of Hurrah!America and Hollywood bravery in place of everyday heroism) than it does to, say, write yet another movie about the Titanic disaster.
