I'm thinking 2013. Action blockbuster of the year.

1. I dunno, but dh said this morning that Tom Clancy is probably kicking himself
for not guessing how this would turn out and then making a dime off it.

6. I'd bet real American $$ that there are people in Hollywood working on that right this second.
Edited on Mon May-02-11 04:26 PM by Xithras
RPG's, helicopter crashes, the worlds most wanted terrorist, a 40 minute shootout in a giant mansion...that has Hollywood written all over it.

If they can make a feature length movie about a couple of choppers getting shot down in Somalia, there is ZERO chance this firefight will escape film treatment.

Which begs the question...who gets to play Osama?

9. I don't doubt it...a TV movie of the week would be quicker to the punch, I think.
The idea being to cash in as soon as possible.

No comment on the casting.

4. The History Channel is probably working on it right now.




This is right up their alley.

War, terrorism, 09/11 ... they can't get enough.

5. The title: "RF OBL!!!"
And by "RF" I don't mean "Rat Fink."

12. I'm thinking more DLC.
Although they are working on the sequel to last year's Medal Of Honor this year...

10. There is a scene at the beginning of "Air Force One" that I thought of...
Where at the beginning, they showed an elite team (American) capturing a terrorist via helicopter in the middle of the night as he was asleep in bed. They swoop down on the roof of his mansion shooting anyone that gets in the way. As they are inside with their night goggles, they kill more agents until they find the bedroom of the terrorist. I wonder if this is how it went down in Pakistan?

It starts at 2:50:
