It is very unclear whether they will all star in it, or the parts are up to bid, since the article is translated using Google translate it seems.

This is great and 2 Thumps up to heval Muhsin , but I hope he is not planning to direct the movie himself :D . Halabja story MUST be directed by someone like Quentin tarantino or James Cameron and if they can hire Selma Hayek, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie Then they can and should get a good director too .

I look forward to more news .

I don't think Quentin would be suited for this type of movie, James cameron for sure.

Incase this is true, i hope they don't make this another bullshit money movie, like 300 or troy etc....................................................................... Hope, they show what really happend. Turks, wtf?! WHen innocent kurds tried to cross the border between iraq-turkey, they got all hunted down and shot. They are the last one to be a part of a kurdish movie.

R.I.P Yilmaz Guney, where are you when we need you? :(

Bahman Ghobadi would be great to have as an director. He have made many kurdish movies, especially about the war. The kids during the war, like flying turtle, half moon etc.
