Dusting herself off after the less-than-successful Aeon Flux, producer Gale Anne Hurd is backing an entirely different project.
Valhalla Motion Pictures and Legendary Pictures are adapting Matthew Bogdanos’ Thieves Of Baghdad for Warners.
The book is a first-person account of recovering stolen artefacts and relics and returning hem to Iraqi museums. He also earned a Bronze Star for his role in helping with counterterrorist operations while serving two tours with the Marines in Iraq.
"This is one of the most dramatic stories of the war in Iraq," Hurd told Variety. "It's a compelling adventure, with intrigue, grit and pathos."
