Clint Eastwood Director for American Sniper?

“There’s a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation; I have a reverence for individuality.” – Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood has begun negotiations to direct the film American Sniper after Steven Spielberg dropped out of the project earlier in the month.  American Sniper is based on the autobiography of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

Bradley Cooper is still on board to star as Kyle and has had roles in other movies such as The Hangover, Silver Linings, and Limitless.

This is a very important film; Clint Eastwood do it right.
