Egyptian film director Amr Salama revealed to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday that his latest project in the works focuses on the “American Sniper” film’s antagonist.
“American Sniper’s” protagonist — portrayed by actor Bradley Cooper — was based on former U.S. Navy SEAL and sniper, Chris Kyle.
Tentatively titled “Iraqi Sniper,” the storyline will follow that of “American Sniper’s” antagonist, a sniper whose character went by the name “Mustafa,” an operative who was believed to be a former Syrian Olympian.
According to Salama, his aim for the film is to tell the “other side of the story of ‘American Sniper,’ the story about the villain.”
