Egyptian director Amr Salama is going ahead with plans to produce Iraqi Sniper, a film that looks at the American Sniper story from the Iraqi point-of-view.
It will be interesting to see how Salama’s version of the story treats the character of Chris Kyle, if he chooses to include a version of the American Sniper at all.
Producer Mohamed Hefzy says he believes Iraqi Sniper will have “international appeal,” as did American Sniper.
The movie includes a character named Mustafa, a mysterious sniper on the Iraqi side played by Egyptian actor Sammy Sheik, who terrorizes American soldiers before ultimately being killed by Kyle.
