As AceShowbiz reports citing Deadline, the 41-year-old actress is eyed to take the role of real life Afghanistan war hero Major Mary Jennings Hegar in the film which is based on Hegar's upcoming memoir of the same name. The Gotham Group is producing the film. No director has been attached, but Frank Baldwin is penning the screenplay based on the memoir titled "Shoot Like A Girl: How One Woman's War Against the Taliban Led to Her Victory Over the Department of Defense". Nicole Brown, who brought the book into TriStar, will oversee the project with Hannah Minghella. The film follows Hegar who served multiple tours in Afghanistan as a rescue helicopter pilot. She saved hundreds of men and women on and off the battlefield in the Middle East. She sued the Department of Defense in Washington D.C. over the Combat Exclusion Policy which kept female officers from serving in combat roles. Jolie is best known for her roles as Evelyn Salt in "Salt" and Elise Clifton-Ward in "The Tourist". The Oscar-winning actress was last seen in the romantic drama "By the Sea", which she also wrote and directed, and in Disney's revisionist fairy tale "Maleficent".
