Universal Pictures is set to produce an untitled film based on the true-life drama involving the Afghanistan evacuation which ended recently in August.
Hollywood stars Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum are attached to star in the movie.
Universal has picked up the untitled project, which will be directed by George Nolfi of “The Adjustment Bureau” fame, as per Deadline.

Jules Daly, Tatum, and Hardy will produce as well as Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan of Free Association.
Nolfi, who has also written on films like “Ocean’s Twelve”, “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Timeline”, will serve as an executive producer.
Hardy recently featured in “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”, the sequel to his 2018 hit “Venom” and will next star in Gareth Evan’s Netflix thriller “Havoc”.
Tatum will soon be appearing in the upcoming film “Dog”, which is a comedy that he is co-directing alongside Reid Carolin. He will also star opposite Oscar winner Sandra Bullock in “The Lost City”.
