News: "American Sniper" Screenwriter Says "Thank You For Your Service"

American Sniper screenwriter Jason Hall will make his directorial debut with the adaptation of David Finkel's nonfiction book Thank You for Your Service, published in October 2014. The Oscar-nominated screenwriter also adapted the book, which follows three U.S. soldiers who return from Iraq and struggle to integrate back into their civilian lives with their families since they are still haunted by the horrific memories of war.
Whiplash star Miles Teller is in talks to join the drama.
Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper grossed $547 million worldwide, making Hall one of Hollywood’s go-to creatives for military-themed projects. His script for the film was previously listed among those on the 2013 Black List.
