Los Angeles - Actor Harrison Ford is to star in a movie about the recent battle for Fallujah, according to Daily Variety.
The Paramount movie will be based on the upcoming book No True Glory by Bing West, a former Marine and US assistant defence secretary who covered the battle as a foreign correspondent.
The film will be the first major Hollywood film on the Iraq war and would focus on US troops and their military and civilian leaders, rather than on the Iraqi insurgents targeted in the massive assault.
Ford will play the general in charge of the operation, according to Variety.
While No True Glory would mark the first feature drama about the war, several Iraq war projects are being developed for TV, including a pilot series from NYPD Blue co-creator Steven Bochco titled Over There. - Sapa-dpa
