Act of Valor

A few months ago we were surprised by the news that National Geographic (or "Nat Geo," whatever) had plans to join History in introducing its own original scripted series, adapting the Navy SEAL-made film 'Act of Valor.' Now, National Geographic has unexpectedly cancelled their planned adaption, leaving their planned scripted future in question.

‘Act of Valor,’ which began as a Navy recruitment film, eventually grew into a full-length feature in which an elite team of Navy SEALs embark on a covert mission to recover a kidnapped CIA agent. But what’s got everyone talking is that unlike standard war flicks, ‘Act of Valor’ stars real active-duty Navy SEALs.
