Michael Bay’s production company Bay Films has a biopic on former U.S. Army Delta Force fighter and drone warfare expert Brett Velicovich in the works for Paramount.
“The true story of how the Iraq War vet and onetime U.S. intelligence specialist used his drone skills to fight terrorists contains never-before-revealed details about ISIS’s rise to power, and could be one of the first major projects to accurately portray the group onscreen,” reports Variety.
Paramount optioned Velicovich’s life rights and upcoming memoir:
It offers a suspenseful account of Velicovich’s special ops drone strikes, which targeted some of the world’s most wanted terrorists. After chronicling his wartime service in Iraq and Afghanistan, the story will take readers and moviegoers through his adventures in Somalia and Kenya where, as a civilian, he adapted his drone expertise to capture poachers of African rhinos and other endangered animals.
