Other SEAL-centric projects on the horizon include Kathryn Bigelow's film about the hunt for Bin Laden (still tentatively titled Kill Bin Laden) Maersk Alabama, a project based on the novel "A Captain's Duty" about a Somali pirates hijacking, which will star Tom Hanks and looks to be directed by Paul Greengrass and Lone Survivor, another based-on-a-true-story of Navy SEALs in action from director Peter Berg ( The Kingdom, Hancock).Īct of Valor is now slated for release in early 2012 (most likely, President's Day weekend next February), so it'll be the first of the four aforementioned Navy SEAL movies to hit theaters.
