There will be another war movie to watch out for-but it's going to be about a different type of American shooter.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Lawrence, who's well known for her role as Katniss in The Hunger Games series, has been recently attached to play the lead in the film version of Lynsey Addario's memoir entitled, "It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War."

41-year old Lynsey Addario is an American journalist and war photographer who spent most of her time in the last two decades taking pictures in Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Africa and Iraq, which are some of the most dangerous places in the world.
In 2011, shooting for the New York Times, she was one of the four journalists who were captured and held captive for almost a week in Libya by government ruffians following the fall of Libyan revolutionary and politician Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
During the terrifying ordeal, Lynsey, who was also the only female journalist among the four, was punched in the face, bound and constantly fondled by soldiers, some of whom continually threatened to end her and her colleagues' lives.
According to THR, Steven Spielberg is currently in talks to direct the movie, which will be under Warner Bros, with Andrew Lazar, the producer of "American Sniper."
24-year old Jennifer is currently working on David O. Russell's upcoming film, "Joy", a true story about Joy Mangano, the inventor of the Miracle Mop.
