Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper is taking on ISIS. The 41-year-old actor, alongside “The Hangover” director Todd Phillips, is set to executive produce an adaptation of reporter Joby Warrick’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS” for HBO.
Deadline Hollywood reports that the adaptation will be a miniseries and will be titled “Black Flags.”
The description for “Black Flags” is as follows:
When the government of Jordan granted amnesty to a group of political prisoners in 1999, it little realized that among them was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a terrorist mastermind and soon the architect of an Islamist movement bent on dominating the Middle East. In Black Flags, an unprecedented character-driven account of the rise of ISIS, Joby Warrick shows how the zeal of this one man and the strategic mistakes of Presidents Bush and Obama led to the banner of ISIS being raised over huge swaths of Syria and Iraq.
