Bradley Cooper dropped out of the western “Jane Got A Gun” due to scheduling problems, but now he is coming on board to work with legendary director Steven Spielberg.
Spielberg has signed up to direct “American Sniper,” a project to be produced by Cooper, picking up the rights last year. Based on the autobiography of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, Jason Deal Hall ("Spread," "Paranoia") will adapt the book which tells the story of sniper who, had the most kills, in his ten year career, in army history, leading Iraqi insurgents into place a bounty on his head. But for all his success overseas, Kyle’s work put a strain on his marriage and home life.
Spielberg, with gritty and realistic war films such as Saving Private Ryan, is a veteran of this type of movie. This will be Spielberg's next picture with both Warner Bros. and DreamWorks involved. Spielberg’s “Robopocalypse” might get further delayed as a result of this.
