Mark Duplass Joins Bigelow's UBL Hunt

Mark Duplass is set to play a key supporting role in Kathryn Bigelow's topical war drama Zero Dark Thirty says Deadline.


Writer Mark Boal extensively researched the film which centers on an elite Black Ops team's attempt to assassinate Osama bin Laden almost a decade ago, an effort that came very close to succeeding. His death last year meant a few rewrites.

Joel Edgerton Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kyle Chandler, Edgar Ramirez, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt, Guy Pearce Jennifer EhleHarold Perrineau Fares Fares Nash Edgerton Frank Grillo and Mark Strong also star.

Boal, Bigelow and Megan Ellison are producing the film.

The pic has December 19th release date.

This film is not to be confused with John Stockwell's true bin Laden actioner Code Name Geronimo that's been filming for weeks.
