AL-HILALI THE MOVIE

There's speculation Douglas Wood and his wife stand to gain from his ordeal:

It is understood the couple, who were accompanied by a freelance cameraman, are negotiating to sell the story of Mr Wood's capture and release in Iraq.

Fair enough.

There's also speculation from Hilali himself that a movie is in the works:

Of course this is a difficult and dangerous case and the hard time in Baghdad. I have enough for like a film, movie in Baghdad!

A useless self-promoter like Jesse Jackson would be perfect for the role of Hilali in the al-Hilali story. I wonder if Wood would get a mention?
