Here’s a first look at the Kathryn Bigelow-directed drama Zero Dark Thirty — the story of the Navy Seal Team 6′s hunt for Osama Bin Laden, which ended on May 2, 2011 with the terrorist leader’s death. Mark Boal penned the script. The pic, starring Jessica Chastain, Chris Pratt and Joel Edgerton, is scheduled for release on December 19.

Annapurna is killing it.
I don’t know. Love Bigelow and co, but can’t help but think there is so much disinformation fed to us, we will never know the “true story” of what went down. Until then, it’s all propaganda in my mind.
Ditto, they’ll never reveal the inner workings of the DoD and intelligence community when tracking down an HVT.
It’s all fantasy when it comes down to it, no one can claim the “real” story (except the handful of people who were involved from the beginning), especially Hollywood.
Is there going to be a post script at the end of the movie that tells us that this is strictly a work of Hollywood fiction and that the real Bin Laden died about 6-10 years ago? Are they also going to tell us in the post scrip that stories like this have been happening for years, including the Jessica Lynch story, which was all make believe done up for the cameras? Movies like this are what keep America brainwashed and more concerned with who Tom Cruise is dating and what Paris Hilton is wearing than the real issues at hand. Congrats America.
You’re spot on…
I wish people would really look at these events, (and other events), and think about it for a minute.
You mean you catch the bad guy then toss him in the ocean out of respect for his religion? What a load of b.s… common sense tells you this is all theater… the guy has been dead for a long time… he was their boogyman for this fabricated war on terror nonsense…
hope this movie goes away quickly because it’s pure fiction.
Here come the tinfoilers peddling their paranoid fantasies to the gullible. They fancy themselves “skeptics” but there isn’t a conspiracy fairy tale that they won’t swallow hook line and sinker, without any credible sources. To them a mainstream reputable source is “in on it” so the less credible the source, the more they are apt to believe it. Never mind that all the 9/11 truther theories were debunked years ago. They just keep creating more, because the only source they need is some video on youtube created by a crank in his basement, they trust that random crank because he’s “outside” of the “system”.
I don’t know how the movie will turn out, but…
That was a brilliantly designed trailer. Compelling on it’s own, built from the film’s content. Well done.
good trailer, i agree. except the “billions of dollars” we’ve spent have been effective against al qaeda — unless “the enemy” from the trailer is the larger ideology. that could actually be on the upswing, given events in the middle east.
hows it upswing? now islamists will have seat in power which was always the plan, democracy for them is a better means to power.
from the director of the lowest best picture winner in recent history comes a movie we can see on cable.
please…

Love the use of the redacted text. Very clever, very evocative. Great trailer. Hope the movie delivers.
Not particularly excited about this film, because it feels like the audience will be forced to sit through 90 minutes of manhunt in order to get to the fifteen minutes of gunfight at the end… And let’s not kid ourselves that fifteen minute action set piece/ reenactment is really the whole reason why anyone is going to see this movie.
First off, you’re not “forced” to do anything here……if you are that worried about it don’t see the movie.
Second, even if we know the outcome it’s the details that will make the movie. Haven’t you ever seen “All the President’s Men”, or “Zodiac”, or “JFK”, or “Apollo 13″??? All films that were gripping in their detail and recreation of history, and we all knew their outcomes (unless you are terribly ignorant of history).
who cares? sick and tired of seeing people make money from the stuff like this. blah blah blah. Bin Laden is dead, lets worry about those who continue his demented legacy.
No protagonist. No dramatic conflict. I can only imagine half the film is authority figures shouting at detainees (or each other). Everyone knows how it ends. This is going to be bad, commercially and artistically.
Man, producer Megan Ellison has unquestionably impeccable taste. This movie, “Zero Dark Thirty”, looks good from the trailer…. And Megan’s also the muscle behind “The Master” with Philip Seymour Hoffman. Simply put, her Annapurna Films productions is, to be blunt, kicking butt and taking names — right out of the gate.
I doff my hat to Megsn and her colleagues for their brainy, smart choices in a sea of insipid celluloid fare being pumped out by too many production houses. Looking forward to seeing what she does with the “Terminator” franchise. (as for the poster on this thread who dissed the ‘Hurt Locker’ for being a low grossing Oscar winner…. what are you, like, 10 years old? Grow a brain! This box office mentality over artistic triumph is the very thing that is killing Hollywood. Plenty of Hollywood classics bombed at the box office but became iconic, Oscar-worthy films that generations later hold up as terrific, sublime contributions to filmmaking!)
That’s a great trailer.
Looks like the same kind of crap Ollie Stone was trying to do in the 90′s… and failed miserably.
You mean like ‘Any Given Sunday’? Or ‘U Turn’? Or ‘Natural Born Killers’? Or are you simply referring to ONE film he made ain the EARLY ’90s.
Let’s get serious. Annapurna gets projects already packaged because Megan has the $$$. Has nothing to do with talent or taste, just the quest for Oscar.
And this dreck is propaganda. Does the American (or Global) audience really believe this story as told according to “classified documents”? PLEASE. We never even saw the body.
Sheep.
Every informed person knows that Bin Laden is dead. His DNA was matched. If you think he’s still alive then you probably also think Obama was born in Kenya and cruise missiles hit the Towers and cavemen rode around on dinosaurs.
I’m shocked that anyone thinks that is a great trailer. I’m not opposed to checking out the film, but the trailer isn’t a stand out.
I know I am supposed to like this trailer, but it seemed like a newsreel. I am pulling for the movie but do not think it will work creatively or econmically.
Trailer looks good! Doesn’t everyone realize that this movie was in the works long before Bin Ladin was actually killed? I would be interested to know what the ending was supposed to be before that happened.
this is a crappy trailer, not awful but just forgettable. And that line “where you last seen bin laden?” is not powerful or evocative enough to be repeated twice.
This movie looks pretty dull, spywork is actually very slow and tedious, principal decision makers are far removed from the action. But Bigelow knows how to craft exciting action scenes, probably the final raid will be great, but that’s probably it. Worth checking out at home and seeing the end, but not something to draw audiences to the theaters. United 93 was an outstanding, tense film that got great reviews and positive press, but audiences didn’t really flock to it.
Not a bad trailer
