Tony Kushner to Write Steven Spielberg’s 1970s Terror Drama
September 3rd, 2004 by Andre Soares
Playwright Tony Kushner, the winner of both a Tony and a Pulitzer for Angels in America, has been redrafting the script of Steven Spielberg’s as yet untitled project about the hostage-taking of Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.
"We are enormously pleased that a writer of such talent has joined us in bringing this project to the screen," Spielberg has recently announced.
Initially, Forrest Gump screenwriter Eric Roth had tried his hand at the script, but his draft was deemed unsatisfactory.
Australian-born Eric Bana is slated to star in this Universal-DreamWorks co-production, which is scheduled to begin shooting in June 2005.
