A new untitled military project from The Hurt Locker team of director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal received a welcomed push after an elite American unit killed Al Qaeda terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden on Sunday.

We first reported on the project back in December, when all that was known about the movie was that it centered on a team of special ops soldiers. It seems Mark Boal, who has contacts in military intelligence and a background in investigative journalism, based his project on the exact same team that took out Bin Laden, with the screenwriter following the mission this whole time.

Mark Boal will now rewrite the script to include the 40-minute firefight which ended in Osama Bin Laden's death. The death occurred at just the right time for Mark Boal, who still has time to tweak the script, while still ensuring the movie will be timely upon it's released.
