Denzel Washington Producing Iraq War Film
The star might also take the lead role in a film based on the real journals of a US soldier in Iraq.
Deja Vu star Denzel Washington has signed on to produce and possibly star in Journal for Jordan, based on a letter written from a US soldier to his newborn son one month before being killed in Baghdad.
The film is based on an essay published in the New York Times by the soldier's fiance, Dana Canedy, detailing the 200-page diary he wrote for their son. First Sgt. Charles Monroe King left for Iraq before the child was born, and was killed in Baghdad a month before his return. In the interim, he wrote the words as a kind of instruction manual for his son on living a good life, and possibly living a life without a father.
