Sometimes there is really nothing better than the real deal, that’s what screenwriter Kurt Johnstad must have thought when he penned his new project.
The line between fiction and reality will be blurred in a new film starring a real group of Navy SEALs. “Act of Valor” will follow a group of real-life, active-duty Navy SEALs on a fictional mission to rescue a CIA agent, only to discover a terrorist plot against the U.S. along the way, Military.com reported.
Initially the project was supposed to be released as a recruitment video for Naval Special Warfare Command but it has now turned into a potential blockbuster, full-length, feature.
Director Mike McCoy told The Hollywood Reporter back in June that he believes, “the authenticity of ‘Act of Valor’ will transcend demographic, race and political lines. We hope viewers will get a rare glimpse into the SEAL community and that their lives will be as enriched by the experience as ours have been.” He then went on to add that, “at times, filming had to be put on hold in order to coincide with actual training sections.”
The Navy SEALs who star in the film will not have their names in the credits either. “Act of Valor” is set to be released Feb. 17.
I disagree:
