"

Hiding Saddam Hussein" is a documentary film that explores the story of the Iraqi dictator's capture and the subsequent efforts to conceal him from his enemies. Now, it seems that David Seidler and Halkawt Mustafa are set to adapt this documentary into a different format, potentially a scripted film or television series.


David Seidler is a renowned screenwriter known for his work on "The King's Speech," for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Halkawt Mustafa is an accomplished Kurdish filmmaker who directed the original documentary.


The adaptation of "Hiding Saddam Hussein" will likely delve deeper into the events surrounding Saddam Hussein's capture and the complex web of political intrigue that surrounded his hiding. It could provide a more dramatic and narrative-driven portrayal of the events depicted in the documentary.


As with any adaptation, there will likely be some creative liberties taken to enhance the storytelling and bring the characters to life in a compelling way. However, the filmmakers will likely strive to stay true to the spirit of the original documentary and maintain its authenticity and historical accuracy.
