Steven Spielberg is planning to follow up his upcoming drama Lincoln with the action film Robopocalypse.  However, he’s still considering other projects for his future slate, and Spielberg is reportedly in talks to adapt the non-fiction novel No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden.  The book is from the perspective of Navy SEAL Matt Bissonette (under the pseudonym Mark Owen).  The key difference between this story and Kathryn Bigelow‘s upcoming Osama Bin Laden drama Zero Dark Thirty is that her film appears to take place from multiple perspectives covering the entire operation to kill the Al Qaeda leader.
