This is a great Hollywood story in relation to the recent death of Osama bin Laden.

An exclusive story from Variety reports that Mark Boal’s untitled script about the operatives hunting Osama bin Laden concentrates on the very team that wound up killing the terrorist leader, a lucky break for the filmmaker who now has an ending for the project that’s still scheduled to go into production this summer with Kathryn Bigelow directing.

Those close to Boal tell Variety that the “Hurt Locker” writer is continuing his work on the script, and will without a doubt include the 40-minute fire-fight at the compound in Pakistan where bin Laden was found and shot to death Sunday.

Boal was following the mission for quite some time, thanks to his access to military intelligence and his background as an investigative journalist. For him, the timing of bin Laden’s death is a great Hollywood story in that if it had come much later, making changes would’ve been a scramble. The time is still late enough to maximize the movie’s overall premise.
