  • Now it's not a surprise that the mission that resulted in the assassination / killing of Osama Bin Laden has become the high story of Hollywood, as the result of the mission has struck a nerve, especially to those across the pond.

    Also it's no surprise that several movies about the mission are in development namely to name one Academy-Award Winner Katheryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thiry. But now comes rumour and speculation that one of the biggest names in Hollywood is set to take the Bin Laden mission events by storm, and no it's not James Cameron, his still on Pandora, but none other than Steven Spielberg.

    But word on the latest book to retell the exclusive details of the events of the mission which come from Navy SEAL Matt Bissonette writing under the pseudonym, Mark Owen in which he recalls the events firsthand. In which the book is titled 'No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account Of The Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden' has now become Hollywood's hot property after they suffered a numerous 50 Shades of Grey..

    But Spielberg is a busy guy, with his highly-anticipated Lincoln on the horizon and is next film to be Robopocalypse, which ain't due until 2014. But despite the rumours flairing up the net, a spokesperson of Spielberg, Marvin Levy stated, "Neither Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks Studios or DreamWorks Television will be optioning Mark Owen's book, No Easy Day."

    But I guess we can wait and see what happens to this highly anticipated account of the mission, but it seems that it will be, No Easy Day getting it adapted.

  • If he does a biopic on Bin Landen then I'm there. If it's gonna be a mirror of Zero Dark, then I'll think about it. I love the man to death so he knows what to do
