Writer-director John Milius ("Conan the Barbarian", "Apocalypse Now," "Clear and Present Danger") will pen Korean War pic "The Chosen Few", based on Defense Dept. analyst Julie Precious' story "Task Force Faith" reports Variety.
The story recounts the Chosin Reservoir Battle, during which a group of 2,500 undertrained and ill-equipped U.S. Army soldiers, along with 15,000 Marines, fought back against the surprise attack of more than 100,000 Chinese troops.
After several days of fighting in subzero temperatures, the efforts of the soldiers allowed the Marines to battle their way out.
