"American Sniper" scribe Jason Hall is reportedly at work on a new film about returning military veterans which Steven Spielberg may direct later in the year according to The Daily Mail.
The story is based on David Finkel's book "Thank You For Your Service" which explores how returning veterans coped with post traumatic stress disorder after being on the front line in Iraq and Afghanistan.
