Spike Lee is set to go back to World War II once more, but in a much different capacity. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lee will develop Brandon Koerner's non-fiction book Now the Hell Will Start into a feature film under his 40 Acres and a Mule banner.

Koerner's book, which was published by Penguin last summer, tells the tale of Private Herman Perry, a black soldier who went on the lam in the Indo-Burmese jungle after shooting a fellow soldier and eventually became acclimated with the jungle and tribal culture.

It isn't clear whether Lee will direct the film or not, as of yet. Lee recently took on a different World War II tale with his Miracle at St. Anna.

No production schedule was released.

Miracle at St. Anna was released September 26th, 2008 and stars Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonso, Omar Benson Miller, Pierfrancesco Favino, Valentina Cervi, Matteo Sciabordi, John Turturro. The film is directed by Spike Lee.
