Certainly the most secretive mainstream film of the year is Kathryn Bigelow‘s Zero Dark Thirty. With a closed set and a pre-production process that reportedly worked heavily with the US government, the director’s follow-up to the multiple Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker follows the Navy SEAL Team 6 that hunted down Osama bin Laden.
We’ve got the first trailer for the film today, which teases from the very start with blacked out studio logos. We’re then given a few glimpses of scenes, seemingly following in the same style of The Hurt Locker — mixed with a map overview of suspects and other information. There’s not a lot to go on, but here’s hopeing Bigelow has created another nail-biter as she tells these recent true events.
Check it out below via Entertainment Weekly for the film featuring one of the best ensembles of the year, including Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Édgar Ramírez, Mark Strong, Nash Edgerton, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau, Frank Grillo and Mark Duplass.
