Angelina Jolie is in early talks to headline TriStar’s “Shoot Like a Girl”.
The film is based on Air Force Major Mary Jennings Hegar’s upcoming memoir “Shoot Like a Girl: How One Woman’s War Against the Taliban Led to Her Victory Over the Department of Defense”, which will hit shelves in March 2017.
According to THR, Jolie is in line to play Hegar, who served three tours in Afghanistan as an elite rescue helicopter pilot. She earned a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for her work. She also opened the front lines for women by successfully taking on the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C., asserting that the combat exclusion policy barring women from combat duty was unconstitutional and unjust toward women in the military.
The current draft of the script was penned by Frank Baldwin. A director is yet to come on board.
