Steven Spielberg has started work on his next ambitious project, a film telling the story of the terrorist attack of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. The well-known filmmaker began work on the project just days after the premier of his film War of the Worlds, which explains the assasination of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists. Australian actor Eric Bana (The Hulk, Troy) will play an Israeli Secret Service agent in charge of a counter-strike against the terrorists. Spielberg said: "The attack at Munich by Black September and the Israeli response to it was a defining moment in the modern history of the Middle East." |
