Frankly speaking, I haven't heard about this even once and but it appears Spielberg is either interested in directing or producing a 'Munich' type film dealing with Lockerbie Bombing.
The site reports the following
Legendary Hollywood director Steven Spielberg will direct a movie regarding the Dec. 21, 1988, bombing of Pan Am 103 over the town of Lockerbie in Scotland.
The movie is an adaptation of the book Flight 103 written by former Israeli officer and MOSSAD agent Juval Aviv.
"I believe the book will have an impact around the world because what happened over Lockerbie that day affected so many people in so many countries, and continues to do so," Aviv said a few weeks before the release of the book.
Although the book is presented as a fiction, it echoes the allegations made by Aviv in his famous INTERFOR report prepared to help the defense of Pan Am.
Aviv believes that Libyan national Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of the atrocity, is actually innocent.
The former MOSSAD agent instead claims that Tehran officials ordered the destruction of the Boeing 747 as revenge for the accidental shooting of an Iranian airliner by the United States on July 3, 1988.
Spielberg and Aviv have collaborated previously in the making of Oscar-winning film "Munich," which was also based on a novel written by Aviv.
