VIDEO : Angelina Jolie Looks To Star in 'Shoot Like a Girl'

Angelina Jolie is in early talks to star in TriStar's adaptation Shoot Like a Girl. The film is based the book Shoot Like A Girl: How One Woman?s War Against the Taliban Led to Her Victory Over the Department of Defense, an upcoming memoir by Air Force Major Mary Jennings Hegar that will hit shelves in March 2017. Hegar, who Jolie would play, served three tours in Afghanistan as an elite rescue helicopter pilot. She earned a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for her work. She also opened the front lines for women by successfully taking on the Department of Defense in Washington D.C., asserting that the Combat Exclusion Policy barring women from combat duty was unconstitutional and unjust toward women in the military.
