Actor Bradley Cooper will play the role of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in the American Sniper movie that he will produce. Kyle was killed last week at a gun range.
The film will be based from the autobiography of Kyle. Cooper bought the rights to “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History.”
In an interview with NPR, Cooper said:
“His story first of all really needs to be told, and it’s also relevant on two fronts: gun control and the need to address the many soldiers who are coming back with PTSD. Medicine has evolved to such a state — soldiers are coming back and they’re going to assimilate into the culture and if we don’t address the mental state along with the physical state it’s going to be a problem.”
