Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Sony Pictures is in the process of producing a film about the capture of Osama bin Laden and the company has added two more actors to the cast.

According to sources, Nash Edgerton, an Australian stuntman-turned actor will play a Navy SEAL.

Edgerton has worked as a stunt-double on the Star Wars prequels and on The Matrix. He also played in and directed the comic short film Bear, which played at the recent Sundance Film Festival.

Jennifer Ehle, who recently played in Contagion, has also joined the cast to catch the man who was once labeled the most dangerous terrorist in the world. Her role is unknown at this time.

In the past, Ehle co-starred with George Clooney, playing his wife in The Ides of March and she also played Elizabeth in the 1995 miniseries version of Pride and Prejudice.

Other actors already signed on to the hunt for bin Laden film are Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt, Kyle Chandler, Edgar Ramirez, and Mark Strong.

The yet to be titled bin Laden movie is planned to be released on Dec. 19, 2012.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
