Harold Perrineau the latest to join Kathryn Bigelow's hunt for Bin Laden film


Kathryn Bigelow seems to kicking the casting over her still untitled Osama Bin Laden film into high gear over the last couple of weeks. As filming looms on the horizon, Jennifer Ehle, Nash Edgerton, and Kyle Chandler have been added in just the last few days, and now one more powerful supporting player is set to join the hunt.

Harold Perrineau, probably best known as Michael on JJ Abrams' hit series, Lost, is the latest to join the international ensemble. He'll be sharing a lunch table with Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Mark Strong, Edgar Ramirez, Chris Pratt, and Jason Clarke, all in roles that have been kept entirely in secret. What we think we know is that the film will deal less with the action heavy elements of Seal Team 6's hunt for the terrorist leader, but with the behind the scenes stuff. I'm guessing it'll be some sort of mix, with a few of the extensive cast playing the soldiers on the ground, and others as desk jockeys.

Filming kicks off next month, with a December 19th release date set. [Deadline]
