Since its original publication in November 2010, Unbroken has sold nearly 4 million copies and has remained on the bestseller list for over 160 weeks, with 14 weeks at #1. http://shelf-life.ew.com/2014/04/17/...as-a-ya-novel/
The author is even doing a YA version of the book to be released in November.
Universal (which is distributing) must like the movie. They won a bidding war with every other studio to distribute the next movie she's directing. Filming now.

Why couldn't NO get a stronger male lead for this? Do you think it will gross a lot?
His performance is a revelation (easy to see why he caught Angelina Jolie’s eye for her next directorial effort “Unbroken”), a brilliant evocation of an incoherently, sneeringly angry young man whose natural inclinations, coupled with his broken-beyond-repair background, have conspired to land him in jail with no possibility or hope of early release.
Watch out for O’Connell—he’s the star of Angelina Jolie’s prisoner of war drama Unbroken, which comes out this Christmas, and if his work here as Eric Love is anything to go by, he’ll be all over our screens for years to come. Get a head-start on his bright future now while you can.
NO is gonna give him his big break and cast him to the world, but it is just so she can take all the credit for discovering him and boost her profile in the end.
