The movie: Hunt for Osama bin Laden


A film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden could be on its way to the big screen, according to reports.
The Oscar-winning director of The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow, has been planning a movie about the US special forces team that killed theal-Qaida leader for some time, Variety (paywall) says. The film was thought to focus on a previous unsuccessful attempt to get Bin Laden, but as the project – tentatively titled Kill Bin Laden – is still in development, screenwriter Mark Boal could easily include details of the40-minute firefight at a compound in Pakistan which led to Bin Laden's death.
