Book on bin Laden killing to be made into a Hollywood film By Indiantelevision.com Team(22 October 2011 3:45 pm)

MUMBAI: Osama bin Laden continues to interest Americans. And now a book detailing his death could be converted into a Hollywood movie.

Chuck Pfaffer, author of “SEAL Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama bin Laden,” is keen to sell to studios or producers the television and film rights. The book is set for release on 8 November.

The book is a first hand account of the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan from SEAL members. Pfaffe, a former U.S. Navy SEAL commander, has offered a different account of the raid than the official White House version.

According to the official version, bin Laden’s death operations took 40 minutes as SEALS made their way up to the bedroom from the ground floor. Pfarrer, however, writes that bin Laden was killed in the first 90 seconds of the raid as the SEALS entered from the roof.

Another movie about the raid is being made by director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal for Sony. The film is scheduled to release during the fall of 2012.
