From Bruce Willis comes out fighting for Iraq’s forgotten GI heroes – Sunday Times – Times Online:

He is expected to base the film on the writings of the independent blogger Michael Yon, a former special forces green beret who was embedded with Deuce Four and sent regular dispatches about their heroics.

Michael Yon’s blog is here. I’ve mentioned it here previously – it is indeed a very good read.

Regardless of your thoughts on the war, this will further cement the position and legitimacy of blogs in the media. We have bloggers that earn a living via their blogs, and we have had bloggers being offered deals to write novels, or to have their blogs turned into novels. Now we have a blog being turned into a movie. I am excited about it.

Viva la blogs!
