It might be of less impact for now but with the aid of m(–foul word(s) removed–)ive research and creative filming, bringing back to life of the journey and death of America’s number one enemy Osama bin Laden through Columbia Pictures is something to look forward.
On Tuesday, a very important announcement was made by U.S. film giant Sony Pictures Entertainment to which Columbia Pictures is under, and that is the news that they had won the distribution rights for the above mentioned film.
Before Bin Laden’s death last May 2, award winning journalist turned screenwriter Mark Boal together with the first female director to win in Oscars Kathryn Bigelow are already preparing and planning for a movie about Al-Qaeda’s leader way back 2008.
Currently, no working title is being made for this awaited movie, but it was reported that filming will start at the end of summer this year and showing date is expected in the end of 2012.
Just like the film “The Hurt Locker (2010)” which put Bigelow to the top of her directing career, this planned movie will surely provide viewers the vision of authenticity through the keen supervision of this female director, back-up with Boal’s undoubted skill in screenwriting equipped with the sense of investigative journalism.
Megan Ellison of Annapura Pictures, Boal and Bigelow will be producing the film.
Talking about Bigelow’s achievement in filming, her award winning movie “The Hurt Locker” shows about the bomb’s being disposed in Bagdad during the war in Iraq. It is a low-budget film however, it is very powerful.
Moreover, Bigelow’s project is really having an advantage among the others since the screenplay will be under the care of Mark Boal who had been already working with the US Navy Seals unit who happened to kill Osama.
