Disney Chases Nazis After All...


Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" may have escaped the Mouse's fingers, but that's not going to stop Mickey from killing a few Nazis...

Walt Disney Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer have acquired screen rights to the novel "Killing Rommel," by Steven Pressfield("The Legend of Bagger Vance", "Gates of Fire"). The story is of a British battalion’s attempt to thwart German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s desert campaign.

Randall Wallace("Braveheart", "We Were Soldiers Once") will co-write the script with Pressfield, while Bruckheimer will produce. No one is attached to direct as of yet.

This should be interesting since Wallace is a very good screenwriter and Pressfield is an excellent novelist(His "Gates of Fire" novel is about the story which insprired the comic book/film adaption of Frank Miller's "300").
