The movie will be based on the true-life upcoming book No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah, due to be published next May. Ford will play Jim Mattis, the general who led the US assault on Fallujah following the murder of four Americans.
The book was written by Slate reporter Bing West. He will co-write the screenplay with his son Owen.
