Sam Mendes, one of the director that have been related to directing the His Dark Materials Trilogy is going to direct the movie 'Jarhead'. This will mean that Sam Mendes won't be directing His Dark Materials. The list of directors is getting shorter and shorter...
Universal has signed up Sam Mendes to direct Jarhead. The script has been written by William Broyles based on the memoirs of Gul War veteran Anthony Swofford. The movie will follow Swofford's experiences during the Gulf War. "This is equal parts black humor, honesty, rage, lyricism, profanity and the mixture of machismo jarhead culture. With the exception of 'Three Kings,' this is a war that has been overlooked but which has a burning relevance to what is happening right now in the Middle East," Mendes said.
