MUMBAI: John Edgerton would be playing an assassin of sorts in Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow‘s untitled film on Osama bin Laden.
The project was originally conceived as a smaller-scale production, but has expanded into an in-demand actioner after last Sunday‘s killing of the Al-Qaeda leader.
Bigelow re-teams with her Hurt Locker writer Mark Boal (who also took home statues for the 2010 Best Picture winner) for the film, which is an international thriller about a team of Black Ops soldiers.
Source s indicate that the script is being updated to conclude with Sunday‘s secretive operation that led to the killing of the man behind the September 11th attacks.
The film is expected to roll this summer.
Edgerton has earlier starred in films like Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Smokin‘ Aces, Animal Kingdom and Warrior.
