    Based on Michael Hastings’ 2011 best-seller The Operators is about the ups and downs of General Stanley McChrystal, an Afghanistan-based commanding general of international and U.S. forces. The book gives a peek at the real-life representation of the country’s military commanders. The book’s revelations led to a political outrage in the U.S. The film adaptation will also be produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. This year’s Oscar-winner 12 Years a Slave was produced by New Regency and Plan B and these producers have a multi-year agreement to co-sponsor films together along with Brett Ratner’s RatPac.
