Kathryn Bigelow’s Iraq war dram The Hurt Locker is easily one of the best films of 2009, and now the director is lining up an equally as toothy follow-up project. Production Weekly broke the news in a Tweet that:” Kathryn Bigelow is attached to direct Held By The Taliban based on David Rohde’s series of articles in the NY Times”

Published last year, Rohde’s piece is entitled 7 Months, 10 Days in Captivity and is about his experiences being kidnapped in Afghanistan while working on a book about the country. No other details have emerged, but in the meantime you can read the original article here.
