Bacon to star in 'Taking Chance'
Katz to direct Iraq war film for HBO
By Steven Zeitchik
HBO Films has attached Kevin Bacon to star in and Ross Katz to direct its Iraq war pic "Taking Chance." Bacon will play Lt. Col. Michael Strobl, an officer who accompanies the body of fallen U.S. soldier Chance Phelps as it is returned home from Iraq for a burial in Wyoming.
Strobl is penning the script with Katz, adapting it from Strobl's short story of the same name. Project is set to go into production this summer. Movie will air on the net, likely in 2008.
Bacon, star of "Mystic River" and Fox's upcoming
"Death Sentence," is a rare presence on the small screen. He most
recently directed an episode of Kyra Sedgwick's TNT hit "The Closer."
Katz, who produced "In the Bedroom" and "Marie Antoinette"
and exec produced HBO's "The Laramie Project" recently signed a
first-look production deal with Focus Features. This pic will mark his directorial
debut.
"Chance" is exec produced by Brad Krevoy, Cathy Wischner-Sola and
Katz; Lori Keith Douglas produces. Pic was originally slated to go into production
last summer.
