The trailer for The Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow's SEAL Team 6 movie Zero Dark Thirty has arrived, and it looks awesome! The movie tells the story of a black ops Navy Seal mission that led to the death of the terrorist Osama bin Laden during a high-stakes raid on his compound in Pakistan. The movie gives us the backstory behind the raid, and how "intelligence agencies and the military connected the dots that eventually brought them to that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan." The screenwriter of the film, Mark Boal, had this to say in a statement,
I’m fascinated by people who dedicate themselves to really difficult and dangerous things for the greater good. I think they’re heroic and I’m intrigued by them. I’m fascinated by the world they inhabit. I personally want to know how they caught bin Laden. All I can do is hope that it interests other people.
Well, I'm incredibly interested in this story, and I'm looking forward to seeing it told up on the big screen. Bigelow is a very talented director, and I have no doubt she's done a great job telling this story.
The film stars Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Edgar Ramirez, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, Nash Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau and Frank Grillo. It opens up in theaters on December 19th.
