Watch: ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Trailer – The Hunt for Bin Laden is On

Hitting theaters on December 19, the first trailer for Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow‘s first film since The Hurt Locker, has arrived giving you a first look at the film that will dramatize the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

The film focuses on the black ops mission to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, which culminated in his death in May 2011 during a high-stakes raid on his compound in Pakistan. Bigelow and Boal have been developing the project since 2008 and plan to incorporate recent events into the film.

“I’m fascinated by people who dedicate themselves to really difficult and dangerous things for the greater good,” screenwriter Mark Boal told Entertainment Weekly. “I think they’re heroic and I’m intrigued by them. I’m fascinated by the world they inhabit. I personally want to know how they caught bin Laden. All I can do is hope that it interests other people.”

The film stars Jason Clarke, Chris Pratt, Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Mark Strong, Edgar Ramirez, Kyle Chandler, Nash Edgerton, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau Jr., Fares Fares and Mark Duplass. Check out the trailer directly below.
