Movie ‘Stronger’ based on the Boston Marathon bombing on the cards

A movie’ Stronger’ based on the Boston Marathon is on the cards. It is the story of Jeff Bauman, a survivor who lost both his legs in the attack and has been gaining traction among the trio or so Boston Marathon Bombing movie projects that are spread around town.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 30 July 2015.

Bauman was waiting for his girlfriend at the finish line of the annual marathon when two pressure cooker bombs exploded – it killed three people and injured more than 260 others. He was a key witness in the trial of bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. His attempts at rehab are narrated in the book titled "Stronger" which is co-written by Bret Witter.
Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal, of the boxing drama "Southpaw" fame is eyeing the lead role in Lionsgate's Boston Marathon bombing film "Stronger" and David Gordon Green would probably be the director of the project.
