DIRECTOR KATHRYN BIGELOW is shooting a movie about the death of OSAMA BIN LADEN. The Oscar winner and screenwriter MARK BOAL – who penned Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker – had been plugging away on a film called Kill Bin Laden, based on a failed mission to take out the terrorist.

However, the Al-Qaeda leader’s real-life demise at the hands of a US Navy SEAL team has forced the pair to rewrite the end of their flick.

Boal – who has been following the elite unit’s hunt for the world’s most wanted criminal for some time – and Bigelow are now working on a new script to include US President BARACK OBAMA’s ordered raid on the Pakistan compound where bin Laden was shot dead at the weekend.

The film-makers have already begun casting the movie, which is expected to move into production this summer.
