Kathryn Bigelow’s Kill Bin Laden
Ok, they already describe this as one of the most anticipated and potentially controversial movies, but I’m a little bit skeptical about the upcoming Kathryn Bigelow‘s movie with working title Kill Bin Laden.
One thing is for sure – this lady definitely has a lot of luck!
First of all – she won an Oscar for rather boring movie, and now, just when she started to work on a movie described as “the hunt for Bin Laden” – o, well, President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed!
So, once again we have Bigelow on board together with Mark Boal (and who else?) for “black ops thriller” that “was written about the exact special ops unit that did kill him, although the original script was about a failed mission.”
Yeah, we know all of that thanks to Variety, and as you already guess, they will now have to rewrite the whole thing, because – the mission was a success after all (?). Happy ending?

A former Playboy journalist is probably on the right track again!
A former painter, who was familiar with his work before his outstanding experiences as a freelance journalist — embedded in American bomb squad during the two weeks of the war in Iraq, having turned one of his Playboy articles into the short-lived TV shows The Inside in 2002.
Well, these two rejoin forces to make the film that won seven Academy Awards, which opens with a quotation from War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, book by another war journalist:
The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug.”
George Clooney is ready for “The Challenge”
George Clooney has acquired the rights to develop a big-screen version of Jonathan Mahler’s thriller “The Challenge,” for his Smoke House production company.
The book focuses on the efforts of US Navy lawyer Charles Swift and Georgetown law professor Neal Katyal and their arduous journey to ensure that Salim Hamdan, the bodyguard and driver for Osama bin Laden, would receive a fair trial.
