Bruckheimer Heads Back To World War II & Sets About KILLING ROMMEL!!


Merrick here...

While Singer and Cruise are angling to snuff out Hitler in VALKYRIE, Jerry Bruckheimer is interested in KILLING ROMMEL.

Randall Wallace (who wrote BRAVEHEART for Gibson and PEARL HARBOR for Bay & Bruckheimer) will script, adapting a recently published book by Stephen Pressfield (HERE).

"Killing Rommel" focuses on the British Long Range Desert Group and its attempt to stop Rommel, the legendary Desert Fox who routed the British in the North African desert in 1942 and threatened to overrun the Middle East thanks to his battlefield strategies and Panzer tanks.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.


You can find more about Pressfield's book (thus, presumably, get a hint of Jerry's film) via this embed, hosted by the author:
