Theron, Farrell, Fiennes & Dafoe for Iraqi drama
Charlize Theron, Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes and Willem Dafoe are all set to topline Kathryn Bigelow's latest action/drama The Hurt Locker. More info from Coming Soon... 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. Bigelow, a rare female director who helms big action movies is said to have co-wrote the script with war reporter Mark Boal, who has just come off writing In The Valley of Elah with writer/director Paul Haggis, which Theron is also set to star in. This sounds like it has a ton of potential. and with the talent involved (well except for Colin Farrell) it should make for powerful and thrilling stuff. Principal photography is set to begin in late Spring. source - coming soon, production weekly
