Due to hit theatres Oct 12th of this year. :rolleyes:
it took the White House a matter of weeks after the bin Laden raid to get movie producers involved. It took Judicial Watch nine months of FOIA requests to get the documents involved. we've been told that it's too risky for them to publish any of the bin laden photo's, and nobody was supposed to spike the football, but they sure did move fast getting Hollywood involved including access to secret locations and information and direct contact with a Seal team member.
shameless, vain and reprenhensible
from Judicial Watch (http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/13421/)

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the
organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today
that it has obtained records from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) regarding meetings and communications between
government agencies and Kathryn Bigelow, Academy Award-winning director of
The Hurt Locker, and screenwriter Mark Boal. According to the records,
the Obama Defense Department granted Bigelow and Boal access to a “planner,
Operator and Commander of SEAL Team Six,” which was responsible for the capture
and killing of Osama bin Laden, to assist Bigelow prepare her upcoming feature
film.
The July 14, 2011, meeting transcript (http://www.scribd.com/JWatchDC/d/94447718-Judicial-Watch-Bin-Laden-Movie-DoD#page=140) also reveals that the DOD provided
the filmmakers with the identity of a “planner, SEAL Team 6 Operator and
Commander.” (The name is blacked out in the document.) In proposing the
arrangement, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael Vickers said:
“The only thing we ask is that you not reveal his name in any way as a
consultant because . . . he shouldn’t be talking out of school.” Vickers went on
to say during the meeting at the Pentagon: “This at least, this gives him one
step removed and he knows what he can and can’t say, but this way at least he
can be as open as he can with you and it ought to meet your needs.” Boal later
responds, “You delivered.”
A July 13, 2011, internal CIA email (http://www.scribd.com/JWatchDC/d/94447731-Judicial-Watch-Bin-Laden-Movie-CIA&start_page=53) indicates that
Bigelow and Boal were granted access to “the Vault,” which is described the CIA
building where some of the tactical planning for the bin Laden raid took place:
“I was given your name as the POC in [redacted] who could determine the
feasibility of having a potential walk-through of…the Vault in the [redacted]
building that was used for some of the tactical planning in the Bin Laden Raid
[sic]. In consultation with the Office of Public Affairs and as part of the
larger chronicling of the Bin Laden raid, OPA will be hosting some visitors
sanctioned by ODCIA this Friday afternoon.” (The name of the sender is blacked
out.) “Of course this is doable,” an official responds.
