Jessica Chastain And Others Join Kathryn Bigelow's Bin Laden Film

Deadline reports that three more actors are in talks to join Kathryn Bigelow's Bin Laden film from Hurt Locker writer Mark Boal. The actors include Jessica Chastain (The Help, The Debt, Tree of Life), Mark Strong (RockNRolla, Body of Lies, Sherlock Holmes) and Edgar Ramirez (Domino, Che, Wrath of The Titans). It's an impressive addition considering they'll be joining Jason Clarke (Public Enemies, Wettest County), Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom, Warrior) and Chris Prat (Moneyball). It will focus on the group of Navy Seals that ultimately killed Bin Laden. Sony has set the untitled film for a December 9th 2012 release date.

Joel Edgerton Signs On For Kathryn Bigelow's Bin Landen Film

24Frames reports that Joel Edgerton (The Thing, Warrior) has passed on Snow White & The Huntsman to work with Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow. The film with the working title "Kill Bin Laden" had been in development with Bigelow's writer Mark Boal (Triple Frontier, Hurt Locker) working on the film's script. Now with Osama's death it looks like the film is moving quickly into production. This very well could be the best move for Edgerton as the film will be looked at for awards consideration when released.
