Watch The First Trailer For Clint Eastwood’s AMERICAN SNIPER Starring Bradley Cooper
Warner Bros. Pictures and Clint Eastwood reunite again this year for the drama AMERICAN SNIPER. The studio and Oscar-winning director recently brought to the big screen this summer’s musical JERSEY BOYS.
Starring Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban, Keir O’Donnell, the film will be in limited release on December 25.
AMERICAN SNIPER joins the list of other war-themed movies, FURY and UNBROKEN, as well as the January release of the critically acclaimed LONE SURVIVOR, in 2014. David Ayer’s WW2 Sherman Tank movie will be in theaters on October 17, while director Angelina Jolie’s epic drama on the life of war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini opens on Christmas Day. All three films will most likely be embraced by the guilds and Academy voters as we head into awards season.
In AMERICAN SNIPER, Bradley Cooper stars as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history.
But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.”
However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.
The film’s screenplay is by Jason Hall, based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwan and Jim DeFelice.
