Possible "Seal Team Six" Movie??? I'm hoping...
A new Bin Laden movie?

Filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow showed her prowess with military movies in 2009's Best Picture winner The Hurt Locker -- which was about an Army explosive ordnance disposal team, not special forces. Bigelow had a film in development about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, but with the terrorist leader confirmed killed by a SEAL assault team over the weekend, the direction of her project is unclear.

A soon-to-be published book on the Navy elite team, Seal Team Six, by Howard E. Wasdin, is already attracting attention from filmmakers.

1. Wasdin is an ex of Team6.
I am pretty sure the book is being ghosted, interviews I have read with Wasdin were pretty wooden.

2. I just hope if they are going to do this project that it has good writers.

I'd also like the film to cover heavily the goings on at the Pentagon. Panetta et al...Could be a great film if done right.

3. The book cover gives credit to a Stephen Templin as
the co-author who also trained for but didn't actually become a seal.
