" Sam Raimi could make The Outpost his next project. The Spider-Man filmmaker will produce the military thriller with an eye towards directing, reports Deadline.  Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, Oscar-nominated writers of The Fighter, have signed on to adapt Jake Tapper&amp;#039;s bestselling book The Outpost: An Untold Story Of American Valor. The film will centre around the true events in which 53 American soldiers manning a remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan were overrun by hundreds of Taliban fighters. &amp;quot;The Outpost is an epic story of bravery, courage and sacrifice of our men in uniform, and is absolutely a picture meant for the big screen,&amp;quot; said Raimi. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m honoured to be a part of it.&amp;quot; This will be Raimi&amp;#039;s first directing project since 2013&amp;#039;s Oz the Great and Powerful.
