Ford signs up for controversial Iraq movie

Film legend Harrison Ford has agreed to star in Hollywood's first movie about November's second Iraq conflict, The Battle of Fallujah.

US General Jim Mattis - who halted the first assault on the city by American marines in April - will be played by Ford in the controversial film, which goes into production next year. It will be based on war correspondent Bing West's unfinished book No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah.
