Jessica Chastain and Joel Edgerton are at war in the new Zero Dark Thirty trailer

Kristy Sturdivant October 12th, 2012

A new trailer has been released for director Kathryn Bigelow’s second film ZERO DARK THIRTY, and I have to admit this trailer makes the movie look way more interesting…and intense. It looks like Jessica Chastain (LAWLESS) and Joel Edgerton (WARRIOR) are at their best, but I’m still a little hesitant to get too excited. I still feel like THE HURT LOCKER was one of the most overrated films a couple of years ago, and I can’t shake the feeling this may be another film like that. Hopefully the story will be intriguing enough to move the film along, but I have a sneaking suspicion there will be a lot of dull and overly intense moments that may cause some boredom.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, ZERO DARK THIRTY stars: Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, James Gandolfini, Edgar Ramirez, Kyle Chandler, Mark Strong, Chris Pratt, Jason Clarke, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau and Nash Edgerton. ZERO DARK THIRTY hits theaters on December 19th, 2012. Check out the new trailer below.
