Deadline is reporting that Liam Neeson is in talks to play General Douglas MacArthur in Operation Chromite, a Korean war film which is set to be directed by John H. Lee (71: Into the Fire).
The film will tell the story of the eponymous Operation Chromite, a 1950 operation which saw the United Nations launching a surprise attack against North Korea, leading to a decisive UN victory at the Battle of Inchon. The story will focus on a group of Korean soldiers taking part in the battle, and is slated for release in 2016.
