LOS
ANGELES: Steven Spielberg has his sights set on his next project, a
movie about former Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle, who is considered to be
the deadliest sniper in US military history.
A spokeswoman for DreamWorks Studios says Spielberg will direct Bradley
Cooper in an adaptation of the best-selling book ”American Sniper.”
”Spread” screenwriter Jason Hall wrote the script based on the
autobiography of Kyle, who was killed this year at a Texas gun range. An
Iraq war veteran, who he was trying to help deal with Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD), is charged with the killings.
At the time of his death, Kyle was working on another book, ”American Gun: A History of the US in Ten Firearms.”
The film will be a co-production of DreamWorks and Warner Bros.
