New Line Cinema has acquired Time of Your Life, a fact-based drama about an Army Special Forces captain who organized a party for his loved ones in the event of his death in Iraq and then indeed died there.

According to Variety, Jim Burnstein and Garrett Schiff will write the script.

Shortly after Jeffrey "Toz" Toczylowski died in 2005 after falling from a helicopter, his friends received an email message from him that opened with this line: "If you are getting this email, it means that I have passed away. No, it's not a sick Toz joke, but a letter I wanted to write in case this happened."

The email, forwarded at the soldier's request by a Green Beret pal, invited each recipient to a party that Toz had planned in advance (and set aside $100,000 to fund) to celebrate his life.
