The political drama 13 Hours, the Benghazi movie that Michael Bay is directing for Paramount, is being shot in Malta and Morocco in the beginning of next month, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is an adaptation of Mitchell Zuckoff's book about the 2012 attack on an American compound in Libya that left US ambassador J. Christopher Stevens dead.

The story centres on the special forces team that attempted to rescue Stevens.
