Spielberg to do next Bradley Cooper film; "Hangover guy" wins Oscar before Leo
Fri, May 3, 2013
In some news from The Hollywood Reporter today, it was announced Steven Spielberg, who recently took a trip to the Oscars the past few years with War Horse and Lincoln will now direct Bradley Cooper in the docu-drama of Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle.
Jason Hall (Spread) wrote the script and will executive produce.Sniper will now be a Warner Bros./DreamWorks co-production, with Warners handling domestic.
A first-quarter 2014 start date is being targeted.
The book, whose complete title is American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, reveals how Texas native Kyle came to record the highest number of sniper kills for an American. The book has been praised for its frankness in telling a first-person account of a warrior who shoots from far and close distances.
Well. We should put Leo on suicide watch when this inevitably gets Cooper the Oscar he almost had for David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook just last year. It's clear Cooper has been eying more serious work, especially since the franchise that made him famous, The Hangover is ending just this summer with it's Part 3.
The actor also recently was the latest to drop out of Natalie Portman's Janies Got a Gun which will probably never be made. Shucks..?
