Kathryn Bigelow, who just over a year ago became the first woman to win best director at the Academy Awards, is set to direct an adaptation of the hunt for the man who orchestrated the September 11 attacks almost ten years ago. Bigelow had previously commissioned the film, but now with the long-awaited and timely death of the Al-Qaeda leader, the last act will feature the forty minute raid that ultimately ended up up Bin Laden with a bullet in his brain.
Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom) has already been cast as one of the commandos. A relative unknown, Edgerton's anonymity will surely dissipate with his inclusion in the upcoming
Warrior alongside Tom Hardy, and the prequel to
The Thing.
At the moment,
Kill Bin Laden is (thankfully) a working title.
