Bradley Cooper is going to tackle World War II in his next feature film. The "American Sniper" actor has landed a lead role in a drama called "Atlantic Wall". He is expected to play a lone American paratrooper stranded behind enemy line.
The movie is based on the 2015 Black List script written by Zach Dean. Scheduled to kick off production in 2018, it's directed by Gavin O'Connor who is currently gearing up for the release of his gangster film "The Accountant" starring Ben Affleck.
"We're thrilled Imperative is bringing Atlantic Wall to life on screen with a talented filmmaker like Gavin," producer Dan Friedkin said. "Bradley's phenomenal track record speaks for itself. He's perfect to portray our complicated, often reluctant hero. We can't imagine better creative partners."
Bradley Cooper is currently working on a remake of "A Star Is Born" led by Lady GaGa. He also reprises his role as the voice of Rocket Raccoon in James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2".
