Skydance Sports is developing a movie adaptation of Scouts and Raiders: The Navy's First Special Warfare Commandos, a 1993 nonfiction book by John B. Dwyer, which Mark Perez (Game Night) and Jason Filardi (Chapelwaite) will adapt, Deadline reported.
Scouts and Raiders "is billed as telling the true origin story of the WWII commando unit of the same name, a precursor to the Navy SEALs, including its heavy recruitment of collegiate and professional football players," Deadline noted. The National Football League is involved with the project through its partnership with Skydance Sports.
