Spielberg Drops "Sniper" Cooper Stll Involved

Steven Spielberg has vacated his commitment to direct the biopic American Sniper reports Deadline.


Based upon U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle's autobiography--Jason Dean Hall will write the adapted script about Texas native Kyle (Bradley Cooper) who came to record the highest number of sniper kills (255) for an American. The book is a frank first-person account and includes passages from his wife who slowly watches her husband’s affection turn from her to his job. Tragically, this true American hero was killed by a fellow veteran at a shooting range in February.

Spielberg put Robopocalypse on indefinite hold in January to do the pic. Unlike 'Sniper' though, Spielberg still intends to direct "Robopocalypse" after additional development.

Spielberg decided to  move on since his vision of this movie would not mesh with the budget.

 Warner Bros is free to lock down another filmmaker to keep the project together. Cooper remains attached to star and produce the pic
