But this time around, moviemakers might have the edge. Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal, the team behind best picture Oscar winner The Hurt Locker, were already assembling a movie about U.S. forces' pursuit of bin Laden when the successful mission took place.

I wonder who they will get to play the part of Gary Faulkner, being that he was the hound that drove the quarry to the hunters and therefore a vital part of the entire operation. :D

I am thinking that Randy Quaid would be best and they can save money on makeup since they look so much alike.

And since Faulkner is almost as crazy as Quaid! :D
And in keeping with the vein of saving money for production purposes, guess who they can get to play Hillary Clinton?

Hurt Locker was one of the worst War movies I ever saw. Let her make a Navy SEAL Movie. I'm sure it will attract future Navy SEALS from all over the USA. Just like the last dozen Movies did. Just the type of recruits you don't want.

What a piece of crap that was! She has proven she has no clue about the military, warfare, or the people who go in harms way.
Now back in the day,I could have played Faulkner. I'd have to get a little drunk first.
Definition of a little drunk. (http://sassvets.homestead.com/utahsword.jpg):D

Wasn't that photo supposed to have been placed in the "Burn Bag"??? :confused:
I'm pretty sure I've seen Bin Lade... but it had nothing to do with SEALS... there might have been some sailors though :D

I hope they keep it as accurate and realistic as Hurt Locker was.

My problem with the movie is the timing. We know how Hollywood loves the far left. Rest assured Obama will look like he was in the war room calling the shots. My money says Obama was on the damn golf course at an officer's club forcing some officers to wait on his ass to finish before they could start.

I don't think this is the first time this has been said and not a chance I would take the under.

This Navy Captain should have refused to talk. Under Secretary Vickers should have not told him to talk with the film makers.
As a former Squid, I know we are all guilty of attention whoring, but even I know this is bad juju. STFU, already.
And it's not like Hurt Locker was an honest film giving credence to Bigelow. There is no reason to believe this will be any different.
LINK (http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/22/11816421-obama-aides-gave-classified-information-on-bin-laden-raid-for-film-watchdog-says)
Judicial Watch has released hundreds of Defense Department and CIA communications that reveal the Obama administration leaked classified information to filmmakers on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Judicial Watch claims the secrets were provided for a film on the bin Laden raid that was first scheduled to be released Oct. 12, just in time to boost the president's image shortly before the November elections. Sony Pictures has since pushed the release back to December.
According to the documents, the filmmakers were granted access to a Navy SEAL captain who was the "planner, operator and commander of SEAL Team Six," which killed bin Laden. In one memo one of the filmmakers says he had a "good meeting with Brennan and McDonough" and says "they were forward leaning, sharing their point of view on command and control."
John Brennan is the president's chief counterterrorism adviser, and Denis McDonough is deputy national security adviser.
In putting the filmmakers together with the SEAL Team Six commander on the raid, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers writes in one document, "The only thing I ask is that you not reveal his name in any way ... because he shouldn't be talking out of school."
The filmmakers include Kathryn Bigelow, Academy Award-winning director of "The Hurt Locker," and screenwriter Mark Boal.
Pentagon Press Secretary George Little told NBC News on Tuesday that the Defense Department and other agencies regularly engage with the entertainment industry to inform book and movie projects.
"Many individuals in the industry expressed interest in developing projects on what can only be described as one of the top intelligence and military successes of a generation," Little said. "Our engagement on these projects was driven by a desire to inform the public, not by timing."
Judicial Watch, a self-described "conservative, non-partisan educational foundation" that often points out federal spending that it believes is suspect, obtained the documents through the Freedom of Information Act.

Yeah, this statement works well for those with a room temperature IQ.
I can't wait to see the movie and obama all kitted up, storming the room and firing the shot that put bin laden down.......:munchin

I'm not confident Obama can stand up much less move in kit. I think a plate carrier may be pushing max load for him.... I can see him trying to stand up with wobbly legs...."Whoa, this is heavy..."

It's been a while since I read through 380-5 but isn't disclosing classified information to someone that can be reasonably expected to disclose that information to unauthorized sources, even if authorized to receive the information themselves, a violation of the non-disclosure rules?

Rules are irrelevant to this administration.
