Patriotic War Book Heats Up Hollywood

there’s a frenzied Hollywood bidding war going on today over the No. 1 book on The New York Times non-fiction bestseller list: Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes Of SEAL Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the movie.
1 The Studio’s are always buying the rights to a book, this is just the 1st step in making a movie, and often (more often than not) it’s just a way to keep some other studio from making a movie.
2 Assuming (and you know what happens when you Assume) the book get’s made into a movie it’ll be a couple years before it’s released.
3 Always remember The Book is the Book...the Movie is the Movie, and the two are not necessarily the same. See any of the Tom Clancy movies, or LOTR’s for proof.

Still the book is WONDERFUL. I couldn’t put it down.

Knowing Hollywood, they'll probably put something like this out:

I found this picture. I beleive that Marcus Luttrell is on the far right and this is the 4 man crew. (If I am wrong please correct me). It's a big picture but I decided to not reduce it via the HTML width/height tags. It's impressive at the current size.

PO2 (SEAL) Shane Patton (RIP), PO2 (SEAL) Matt Axelson (RIP), PO2 (SEAL) James Such (RIP), PO (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell.
