101 Studios has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to “Mosul,” an Iraq War drama funded and produced by Anthony and Joe Russo’s production company Agbo, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.
Matthew Michael Carnahan, who wrote the Agbo film “21 Bridges” starring Chadwick Boseman opening this month, wrote and directed “Mosul.” It’s inspired by an article in The New Yorker by Luke Mogelson about the Nineveh Swat team, an elite police squad of soldiers composed of local Iraqis all fighting Isis. The drama first premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, followed by Toronto, and 101 Studios will now release the film in 2020.
Waleed Elgadi, Suhail Dabbach and Adam Bessa star in the film as a police squad moving block by block to reclaim their city from Isis, all while nursing their own personal traumas at the hands of the terrorist group.
