Fares Fares Joins Hunt For bin Laden

Lebanese actor Fares Fares has joined the cast of Kathryn Bigelow's topical and as yet Untiled Bin Landen war drama says Risky Biz Blog.

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.

It is not known what role Fares will play, though he is said to be "a good guy" in the film.


Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kyle Chandler, Edgar Ramirez, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt, Guy Pearce Jennifer Ehle  Harold Perrineau Australian actor/stuntman/filmmaker Nash Edgerton 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 already filming.
