The first trailer for Zero Dark Thirty landed over the summer, giving us our first tease of Kathryn Bigelow’s return behind the camera following her sweeping victory at the Oscars with The Hurt Locker.
The trailer was quickly followed by a teaser poster, and now Yahoo Movies have debuted a new poster, likely to be going up around billboards and bus shelters in the coming weeks, along with a new image of Jessica Chastain.
“The upcoming true-life drama “Zero Dark Thirty” details the decade-long global hunt for Osama bin Laden, and in this exclusive in-theater banner, you get a satellite view of his secret compound in Pakistan. Two Black Hawk helicopters are seen approaching the fortified compound in the moments before Navy SEALs carried out the raid that lead to bin Laden’s death. The movie from the Oscar-winning writer and director of “The Hurt Locker,” will hit theaters on December 19.”
Chastain stars alongside one of the best casts of the year, headed up by Mark Strong, Joel Edgerton, Kyle Chandler, Jason Clarke, Scott Adkins, Jennifer Ehle, Chris Pratt, Édgar Ramirez, Frank Grillo, Nash Edgerton, and a welcome surprise in Mark Duplass, with Ricky Sekhon taking the role of bin Laden himself.
Bigelow is once more directing from a script by Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker), with the two producing alongside the increasingly amazing Megan Ellison (True Grit, The Master, Lawless).
Zero Dark Thirty will be hitting US theatres on 19th December, giving it a prime position for a run at the Oscars. It will then be coming to the UK on 25th January, 2013, giving us enough time to see it before the ceremony if it should be nominated. For now, the new poster and image, both of which you can click through to enlarge.
