Harrison Ford signs for Iraq war film

Staff and agencies
Thursday December 16, 2004

Harrison Ford is to star in what will be
Hollywood's first feature about the
current Iraq war.

Producers Michael Shamberg and
Stacey Sher have bought the option for
No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah, a
non-fiction written by Slate reporter Bing
West.

The book is due to be published in May
and tells the story of an assault on Iraqi insurgents in Falluja,
from the perspective of US marines.

Variety reports that Ford is already attached to play General Jim
Mattis, in charge of the attack. Shamberg and Sher's production
company Double Feature has already been working with Ford on
the medical drama For His Sick Kid, based on the novel by
Geeta Anand.

It is probable that the film will strike a different tone to the only
major feature about the US's previous war in Iraq, 1999's Three
Kings, which told the story of a group of cynical, self-serving US
soldiers. West's coverage of the war has tended to side with US
troops.
