Hollywood Reporter:

Somebody get Kathryn Bigelow a rewrite! 

Just as the Oscar-winning director and her screenwriting collaborator Mark Boal have been meeting with actors for an Osama Bin Laden assassination project, Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in a Pakistani compound. 

How this will impact the project is yet to be seen. Bigelow and Boal, the director and writer of 2009 best picture winner The Hurt Locker, are working on an action thriller tentatively titled Kill Bin Laden. The movie is to be based on a failed Black Ops mission by the US military to capture the Al-Qaida leader.

I hope they are not planning a movie. It is much too early to do something like this.

But is it too early for the video game? I would be surprised if the next Call of Duty or Medal of Honour does not have a mission alluding to this event.

She needs to find an audience that doesn't believe in facts no matter how incontrovertible they are. Like the kind of people who'd believe Iraq has WMDs even though none were ever found, the kind of people who believe Obama wasn't born here even after producing a long-form birth certificate, the kind of people who don't believe in climate change even though we have tons of studies showing that it's true, and the kind of people who think giving tax breaks to the rich will create jobs even though we've had 30 years to prove that they don't.

Yes the Hurt Locker was such a lie by showing how dangerous the situation is in Iraq for US troops. Seriously, how do you make a link between the work of Kathryn Bigelow and people who gravitate towards conspiracy theories?

trump doesn't believe President Obama that bin laden is dead until he shows him bin laden's birth certificate to confirm that it was bin laden who was killed.
