David Gordon Green to direct Boston Marathon bombing film

David Gordon Green is set to helm Lionsgate’s Boston Marathon bombing film “Stronger”.

This film (one of many Boston Marathon bombing projects currently in the works) centres on Jeff Bauman, a survivor who lost both his legs in the attack.

John Pollono wrote the script based on Bauman’s book co-written by Bret Witter. It tells of his experience when the bombs went off at the finish line of the marathon, his attempts at rehab and his experience as a key witness in the trial of bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Producers are Mandeville Films’s David Hoberman & Todd Lieberman, and Scott Silver.
