Not sure how many people are aware but the news around here (Detroit) has been buzzing about a lawsuit against the makers of "The Hurt Locker". Geoffrey Fieger is representing West Virginian Master Sgt. Jeffrey Sarver claiming that he was the real-life character who the story was about. Screenwriter Mark Boal was an embedded report for 30 days with Sgt. Sarver and took the real-life experiences and wrote a script which then became the movie. The movie even used Sgt. Sarver's code name. Sgt. Sarver wasn't consulted or given any recognition or compensation, which has become the basis for the lawsuit. You can read more about it by clicking the link below......
