Charlize Theron, Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes and Willem Dafoe are attached to topline the Iraq-set action drama The Hurt Locker, reports Production Weekly.

Kathryn Bigelow is directing from a screenplay she co-wrote with war reporter Mark Boal, who recently co-wrote the story for Paul Haggis' In The Valley Of Elah, starring Theron.

The Hurt Locker follows the exploits of an elite bomb disposal unit. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb.

Principal photography is scheduled for later this spring.

Sounds pretty good and i liked the cast,Nice to see Bigelow back,i loved Point Breakt:

Where has Farrell been? He's gone from starring in everything to nothing, well except home movies.

Where has Farrell been? He's gone from starring in everything to nothing, well except home movies.

He's been making a cop drama with Norton recently i think,this sounds like it has real potential,i wonder if the story will be war based or if their job will be centre and the war a backdrop

 

[FaT_tONle]

Sounds exactly like Peter Berg's The Kingdom...

Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty are toplining The Hurt Locker, an Iraq War drama from director Kathryn Bigelow. Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce also have cameos in the film, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Written by Mark Boal and inspired by true events and recently declassified information, "Locker" follows an elite Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal team in present-day Baghdad that fights an onslaught of bombs and snipers.

Renner will play the leader of the team, while Mackie and Geraghty are members of it. Fiennes is a mercenary; Pearce is another member.

Bigelow, Boal, Nicolas Chartier and Greg Shapiro are producing. The film is a Voltage Pictures/First Light/Kingsgate Films production.

Filming is scheduled to begin next week in Jordan and Kuwait.

Looks like a big turn around on this

We reported earlier this week on Kathryn Bigalow's Iraq war flick The Hurt Locker starring Jeremy Renner.

Now here's a look at an early poster for the film:

The poster comes off sort-of fan artistish but there's no denying it at least looks good.

The flick, also starring Ralph Finnes and Anthony Mackie, starts shooting this summer.

 

[Hush]

Is Farrell in this or not?

 

[Sebastos]

I'm interested.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Is Farrell in this or not?

Seems Renner has took his place

 

[Warhammer]

So Theron and Dafoe are not in it now, correct?

New Hurt Locker Trailer


Tried to see this at a local festival but the show was sold out. I've read Jeremy Renner is really good.

 

[Rac]

Saw this yesterday. Great, great war film. Future classic. Renner was really really good in his role. I loved the small parts by Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes.

4/5, or maybe even 5/5

Hopefully this comes to theaters in Finland. I wanna see this on the big screen.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

As the movie is going to be released soon in the USA against "Transformers 2: More CGI puppets fighting in the streets", I ould like to recommend it. I saw it like 10 months ago and I still think it's one of the best movies I've seen in the past year. Suspenseful, gritty, realistic and with a great lead in Jeremy Renner.

 

[hammerhedd11]

I've heard a lot of really good things about this and I can't wait to see it. Kinda funny how this gritty, realistic war flick was made by the same lady who made Point Break.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

AICN Harry Knowles agrees with me that this movie is a lot more worth seeing that "Big Robots fight in the streets again".

[Nivek]

Harry? Sorry, I want to see this, but I don't think I would ever say I agree with that Shill.

 

[louiebling$]

hmm this seems prettty interesting

 

[Rac]

Ya'll Americans should go see this this weekend.

 

[bunk]

Ah... the movie YouTube is pestering me about.

 

[Nivek]

One of my buddies said he can get me a copy, so I might be checking this out over the week. Iraq war films kinda make me feel very, I dunno, like I should be over there or something...
