It looks as if the first feature film based on the current war in Iraw is ready for the big time as Harrison Ford is attached to play a key character in a feature adaptation of the upcoming book “No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah.”
The book will be published through Bantam Books in May ’05 and was written by the ex-Marine, Bing West, who was also former assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs and is now a foreign correspondent covering the Iraq war.
West will also write the script along with his son Owen following the Fallujah assault as a way to explore the dangerous intersection of war and politics, depicting the drama from the viewpoints of soldiers, military leaders and politicians.
