Bruce Willis to make a movie based on blog
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!

louyau: yeah I salute the guy too. Did you know he tried to enlist to go to the first Gulf War and they told him he was too old? He’s really one to put his money where his mouth is.
