IMBD, in its website, articulated that the movie Lone Survivor is catecorized as “in development” and that data is subject to change.
The movie, apparently scheduled for 2009, has no specified release date yet. It doesn’t even appear that they have a script or cast ready to go.
Nevertheless, I know that Universal Pictures emerged victorious in the battle for the film rights to the nonfiction best-seller “Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10.”
Peter Berg, who directed Universal’s Middle East thriller “The Kingdom,” will write and direct the adaptation. Sources said the studio paid $ 2 million against $ 3 million to acquire the rights to the tome as well as the underlying rights.
Akiva Goldsman is producing via his Weed Road banner along with Barry Spikings, one of the Oscar-winning producers of Universal’s “The Deer Hunter,” and Sarah Aubrey, Berg’s producing partner at his Universal-based Film 44 shingle.
