It comes from the Oscar winning team behind The Hurt Locker – director and producer Kathryn Bigelo, and writer and producer Mark Boal.
Jessica Chastain says of the film, ‘What (director Kathryn Bigelow) and Mark have done, is that they have not made a propaganda film. They tried to make it as authentic as possible and respectful of the actual historical event as they could.’

ZERO DARK THIRTY will be released in cinemas nationally on January 31, 2013.
