It seems that the casting process of the film is almost complete; howeVer, it is still under pre-production. Previously it was announced that the two times Oscar nominated star Bradley Cooper was confirmed to play the lead role in this film. Now, as per a number of media reports, Kyle Gallner has joined the cast of American Sniper, alongside Bradley Cooper.
Gallner is known for a number of horror as well as drama films including “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, “The Haunting in Connecticut”, “Jennifer's Body” AND “Red State”. Other actors who have joined the cast of the film are Sienna Miller (known for Stardust, Casanova, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), Jake McDorman (known for “Live Free or Die Hard”), Luke Grimes (known for “Taken 2”) and Cory Hardrict (Known for Battle Los Angeles, Warm Bodies and Gran Torino).
Jason Hall has been announced to pen the script for the Warner Bros.’ war drama American Sniper. Bradley, besides playing the lead role, is also serving as the producer under his 22nd and Indiana label, together with Director Eastwood, Robert Lorenz (‘Million Dollar Baby’ and ‘Mystic River’), and Peter Morgan (known for Frost/Nixon, Rush, The Last King of Scotland, and The Queen). The independent entertainment company, Village Roadshow Pictures, will co-produce and co-finance the film along with Warner Bros., whose vice president development and production, Jon Berg, will supervise the whole production process for the studio. The film production has been projected to be kicked off next month in Morocco.
Bradley will appear as much admired Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who is recognized as one of the Best Snipers in American Military History and killed most terrorists with his snipers than anyone ever have. While Gallner’s role may seem quite strange to some people, as he will live up to the character of Winston, an Arkansas inhabitant who gets the nickname “Goat” when his initial kill in Iraq is a wayward goat. Plot details have not been provided.
The film has already become much anticipated and is being considered one of the best upcoming films. Bradley Cooper has also been tapped for upcoming film “American Blood”.
