Director Oliver Stone has announced that he will follow-up his controversial drama “World Trade Center” with a film about the American-led war in Afghanistan and the search for Osama bin Laden.

Reuters reports that the new movie will be partly based on “Jawbreaker,” a recent book that traces the search for the world’s most wanted man, along with a chronicle of American attacks on al Qaeda forces in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan.

The book carries its own controversy, as it suggests that the U.S. fumbled an opportunity to capture bin Laden.

Stone said that he’d apply the same treatment to the “Jawbreaker” story as he did to “World Trade Center,” aiming to “create compelling drama, not a polemic.”

No casting decisions have been announced, and no production dates have been set.
