LOS ANGELES, Feb 12: Hollywood plans to re-create the bloody battle for the Iraqi city of Fallujah in a movie that could star screen tough-guy Harrison Ford, studio executives said on Friday.
A Universal Studios partner has bought the film rights to a book about the November battle between US forces and Iraqi guerillas called "No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah", a studio executive said.
"The book was optioned by Double Features, a production company that has a deal with Universal," said the executive adding that the studio was in talks with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" star Ford to star in the film.
"No True Glory" is expected to use the assault on Fallujah, a bastion of resistance to occupation forces, as a way to explore the dangerous intersection between war and politics, depicting the drama from the viewpoints of soldiers, military leaders and politicians.-AFP
