Bradley Cooper sure likes attaching himself to movies, and now he’s got one more, as THR reports that Cooper is set to produce and probably star in American Sniper, based on the autobiography of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.
Jason Dean Hall will write the script about Kyle, who holds the records for most sniper kills by an American. The book has been praised for its frankness in telling a first-person account of a warrior who shoots from far and close distances. It also includes portions written by Kyle’s wife, balancing out the story to show both the home perspective as well as that of a soldier who’s out to kill.
Navy SEALs have sure been popular in Hollywood since the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and this is just one of many projects in the works about the special operatives. We’ll have to wait and see if this one actually goes ahead, but having Cooper on board probably helps.
