Katherine Bigelow preparing film about bin Laden

Kathryn Bigelow, whose Iraq War film "The Hurt Locker" won Oscars for best picture and best director, has been working on a story about an earlier, unsuccessful mission to kill the al-Qaida leader.

According to Jsonline.com, Bigelow is now working with the movie's screenwriter Mark Boal to finish the story about Osama bin Laden.

With US President Barack Obama's announcement of bin Laden's death in a US-led raid Sunday, that movie is expected to move up the priority ladder.
