New images from the heavily anticipated Zero Dark Thirty have been released online, highlighting the film’s leading actress Jessica Chastain.
Of course, Zero Dark Thirty follows the decade long manhunt for Osama bin Laden and his eventual demise at the hands of SEAL Team Six. The film is Kathryn Bigelow‘s first feature film since 2008’s The Hurt Locker. Chris Pratt, Joel Edgerton, James Gandolfini, and Mark Strong are set to co-star.
The pictures released seem to mirror Zero Dark Thirty’s evolving storyline. Presumably, the first shows Chastain sitting in a CIA meeting room. The second shows Chastain arguing with Kyle Chandler, who may or may not play her superior.The third shows the actress in a plane amongst soldiers while the fourth shows soldiers in the field. Okay, so they don’t show much more than the trailer, but they do seem to highlight Chastain’s assumed importance in the storyline. Curiously, no information regarding actors’ roles has been released.
Jessica Chastain found great success in the past two years, starring in such films as Lawless, The Tree of Life, and The Help with much critical acclaim. Her personality is more than memorable and should make for quite a likable character in the upcoming espionage thriller.
Zero Dark Thirty is set for a limited release on December 19th. It’s nationwide release will come just after the new year on January 11th. While this one probably reach the amount of success found (almost out of nowhere) by The Hurt Locker, the promotion team sure does seem to be trying their best. Enjoy the pictures below.
