"Do you believe this story - Osama bin Laden?" Sony/Columbia Pictures has debuted one final, fantastic, moody but tense trailer for Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, her long-awaited hunt for Osama bin Laden drama, which has already been earning accolades including National Board of Review awards and Golden Globe nominations. The film stars Jessica Chastain as Maya, a CIA operative who dedicates her life to hunting down bin Laden and finally, as we all know last year, discovered and killed him in a SEAL mission. It's an excellent thriller that may go on to win Best Picture and is worth seeing as soon as you can.

Here's the third and final trailer for Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, originally from Yahoo:

A break in the manhunt for Osama bin Laden is the backdrop for the gripping story about the combined efforts of an extraordinary group of Navy SEALS. About the most daring military op of our generation.

Zero Dark Thirty, which has gone under the title Kill Bin Laden, is directed by Oscar winning filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow, of Near Dark, Blue Steel, Point Break, Strange Days, K-19, Mission Zero and The Hurt Locker previously. The script was written by her partner, Oscar winner Mark Boal, a former photojournalist embedded in the Iraq War, who went on to write The Hurt Locker for Bigelow. Sony Pictures is releasing Zero Dark Thirty in limited theaters starting December 19th, going wide January 11th. It's worth seeing!

Jessica Chastain is one beautiful woman.In every way.
- relax
  
  Now I'm curious.Why the downvoting of this comment? Is she not beautiful ? Or somebody thinks paying a compliment or expresing opinion about womans beauty is sexist ?

    She has pointy elbows so obviously the interwebz has seen and can easily pick up better women

Ladies and gentleman, this is a trailer.

  LaG...MoS has a trailer...this looks...the same as Hurt Locker...boring
  - Mike
    
    It actually doesn't at all. In terms of style? Yeah, that's to be expected. The backdrop may be the same, but this movie is its own entity. To say this looks like the Hurt Locker is like admitting you watched both trailers on mute, without paying attention.
    - David Darida
      
      Actually...I wish I haven't seen the trailers at all...neither the movies...

I'm not sure I like the cover of nothing else matters. The movie does look good though.

I would totally see it as soon as I could Alex, but Columbia went ahead and pushed its release date back to January. But I cannot wait!
- notalent
  
  They didn't really push the release date back. They wanted to do a platform release. Open it in a few cities then expand the next month. Probably since it would get slaughtered by the competition in December (a la "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo").

BOYCOTT THIS LIE! No credible source, including John McCain, claims torture had any effect on finding bin Laden. None. And the torture scenes are bloody, flesh ripping love notes to Muslim haters. STAY AWAY if you believe truth and human dignity have even a tiny place left in this country.

  So... shooting Osama while he was down isn't any less tortuous? You think John McCain is gonna come out and say... "Yeah we totally tortured the hell out of people." I in no way condone torture, but I DO support our soldiers and think war is an atrocity.... but really now....
  - mandawg
    
    Also, McCain has basically no credibility nowadays anyway. He's turned into a bit of a sad old bastard who only eats sour grapes.

      Growing old can be a drag.

    by supporting soldiers you are feeding the problem. Which is why it makes me so angry that the ones who put up signs like 'support the troops' are the exact ones who are sending their kids out their to die for the country to profit - there has been no threat whatsoever on your doorstep so why fight?
    - Steven
      
      Resources and Prestige - the same two reasons for all wars. Like it or not, both have allowed freedom of speech in the western world and advancements in technology. Would we all be on the net now if not for war?
- relax
  
  Dude,it's a movie.Anybody with half a brain knows movies are fiction.Even ones based on supposedly true events.The only people who actually know what really happened are those who participated in the actual events and even they don't know the whole picture or scope of the events they took part of.It's all subjective.And that goes for any kind of movies or stories,not just politically controversial ones.It's just entertainment even if it's trying to be insightful.People who are interested in the subject know they have to find info on their own and not just gobble up "the company line" whatever the hell that means.At least I hope they seek out info on their own and don't settle for "urban legends".

  You obviously haven't seen the movie. The movie doesn't glorify torture. You are incredibely wrong!

*yawn* I just love propaganda pieces, don't you?
- AJ
  
  Yeah, it is sci-fi but it looks good non the less.

  It's not a propaganda piece. See it before you speak

Just bloody incredible! This looks like it exceed HURT LOCKER. Although I am curious whether or not our service men and women will like it too?
- Tester
  
  oh damn !! I am enjoying the trailers for this movie and agree it looks incredible, but did U have to compare it to that awful Hurt Locker movie,....damn U, damn U !!!
  - DAVIDPD
    
    Same director. That is all.
  - Squiggly_P
    
    Why do so many people think Hurt Locker is an awful movie? I'm genuinely curious, because I thought it was pretty damned good. The sort of great writing and characterizations that are lacking in 90% of movies today, Hurt Locker had in spades. Why do people hate it?
    - Tester
      
      Thanks for asking instead of flaming. I found it boring and the movie never went anywhere for me.. Simple as that.
nha

I find this so hard to believe given how much of this is shrouded in secrecy - oh we dropped his body in the sea on the way home.. just seems like more propaganda. Fact is killing the enemy ends a war and that isn't good for american business.
