Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" - previously known as "Killing Bin Laden" - has released it's first trailer.
The film, about the international covert manhunt undertaken to find the Al-Qaeda leader in the wake of 9-11, was in-production and shooting before the Navy SEAL raid actually brought Osama bin Laden down and was originally slated with an open-ended conclusion in mind; though that's obviously no longer the case...
Originall slated to open in October, it was moved to December (read: after the presidential election) in reaction to shameless charges of impropriety vis-a-vi the filmmakers knowledge of military plans from Republican Congressmen and political-hacks panicked at the thought of people being reminded of this American victory at a time when said reminder might help President Obama get re-elected.
Well, let me remind you anyway: Osama bin Laden is dead. Barack Obama gave the order to take him out. This trailer, at least, will probably be in theaters and on TV before the election; and it looks pretty damn good to me.
