Hollywood plans movie on U.S. hunt after bin Laden

Hollywood's Oscar-winning scriptwriter Mark Boal worked on his still untitled script about the U.S. search for bin Laden since last year almost completing it. The production of the movie with another Oscar-winner, Kathryn Bigelow, as the director was scheduled for the summer.

"Boal had been following the mission for quite some time, thanks to his access to military intelligence and his background as an investigative journalist. For him, the timing of bin Laden's death could hardly be better... But the news comes late enough in the project's evolution that it'll maximize the movie's timeliness," Variety reported.

The scriptwriter and the director will now have to wait how the Arab world would react to the news on bin Laden's death to start production and Boal already cancelled his trip to Afghanistan that he scheduled for the next week. Kazinform cites RIA Novosti. See www.en.rian.ru for full version
