Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford and Adam Beach have all confirmed that they will star in the Clint Eastwood's next film, Flags of Our Fathers. Eastwood will direct and the film will be produced by Steven Spielberg. The DreamWorks Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures production was inspired by the book "Flags of Our Fathers: Heroes of Iwo Jima," by James Bradley. The filming is set to start in August. The story is told from the point of view of Bradley, whose father was one of the six soldiers who raised the American flag at the battle of Iwo Jima. It was only after the elder James' death in 1994 that his son learned the full extent of his father's heroism.
The screenplay was written by Paul Haggis, who teamed with Eastwood last year on Million Dollar Baby. |
