Teaming up for the movie World Trade Center has obviously worked well for filmmaker Oliver Stone and Paramount Pictures as they are getting together for another 9/11-based film called Jawbreaker. The movie will be based upon the book by Gary Bernsten and Ralph Pezzullo concerning the United States' hunt for Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
They say they've had the rights to the book for months, but refused to announce it so it wouldn't be seen as trying to politicize WTC.
There was an original draft of the script by Jawbreaker co-author Pezzullo. That's changed as the new draft will be scripted by Cyrus 
Nowrasteh. He's the one that made the TV miniseries The Path to 9/11 and The Day Reagan Was Shot. Stone was the executive producer of those two stories.
"It has the potential to be very exciting. There's a lot of action and a thriller element that we're still trying to bring out," Stone said to Variety. "I'm not looking to make a political movie, but it always seems to come down to that with me."
Stone added that this doesn't mean that it will be his next project, as he has a number of things he's looking at working on.
