Controversy took place earlier this year after the United States killed Osama bin Laden and dumped his body into the sea: Immediately after, news broke that Hollywood was ready to make a film on the event.
Sony films originally pinpointed October 2012 for the release date–right before the presidential election!
Now, Nikki Finke, owner of DeadineHollywood, reports that Sony is pushing the date to later in ’12 or even 2013.. that way, it avoids the controversy of impacting the presidential race.
Of course today, as Gaddafi died, perhaps another film is being planned.. release date.. who knows..
