Raid on Abbattobad: The Movie

[edhopper]

So who makes this film. (About killing Bin Laden)
Ridley Scott comes to mind.
And let pray it's not Michael Bay.

Edit; Typo, it's Abbottabad.

[StoneGold]

They already made it years ago.

Yep, and they've already said they're re-writing the film to include the events of the past week. So...there's the answer.

Though if we're still speculating, I'd throw Paul Greengrass' name into the ring.

That film is going to be boring cause it's just going to be a bunch of CIA folks talking to dudes in Gitmo.

I know you are making a joke, but I don't get it. Who are you trying to make fun of?:confused:

They did more then that. No one in Gitmo pointed them to the compound. There was plenty of surveillance work.

They revealed the courier by name.
All they did was follow the dude.

It was far more complicated then that. They were given names of several couriers and some of them were fake. They weren't even 100% sure Bin Laden was in the compound. It's not like someone gave them a name and just followed a guy to Pakistan. There were a lot of leads and dead ends.

You should really read a newspaper. And I guess you don't think a 40 minute fire fight, a helicopter crash and getting the body out undetected, not to mention the years of intelligence would be that thrilling.

I definitely agree. There are so many details that sound like thrilling action movie material


Helicopter crash
The government had to send in an elite special forces team as Plan B
Matter of national security
The White House coordinating the attack
40 minute gunfight
and of course, Osama trying to use his wife as a shield
Their burial of him


The only thing is that I don't know who they could possibly cast as Osama

[king mob]

I 40 minute gunfight


There wasn't.



and of course, Osama trying to use his wife as a shield

He didn't and his 12 year old daughter saw him being killed.


I'm sure there will be a film suitably gung-ho, but the story the White House is putting out has changed drastically from their first drafts, so it's not a simple story to be told.

[Lord Bravery]

Yea i mean, anyone who believes everything the White House is saying is a little naive. It's called propaganda people.

Although it would make an interesting movie. As long as it's approached in a serious manner and not a Michael Bay-esque jingo fest.

[Sighphi]

And the helicopter crash was mechanical failure.
Not that exciting.

Edit- i just read a new update of the events, how many of these are we going to get, and it says that only one person was armed.
