USA Today "The yet-to-be-titled project from director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal -- the duo behind The Hurt Locker, which won the Oscar for best film of 2009 -- is scheduled for release on Oct. 12, 2012.
"The focus of the film is on Navy SEAL Team 6, which performed the bin Laden operation, but some political observers can't help but wonder how much it will touch on Obama's role, and how it might affect his re-election bid at that stage of the campaign."
Reader Poll: Is Sony’s Release Date for “Killing Bin Laden” Designed to Help Obama Get Reelected? "Accusing a film studio of exploiting our military and their heroism for partisan political purposes is a pretty serious accusation. Accusing the White House of cooperating with this kind of propaganda is also a serious accusation. But that’s exactly what New York Times’ Leftist Maureen Dowd said is happening."
Maureen Dowd has this: "The White House is also counting on the Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal big-screen version of the killing of Bin Laden to counter Obama’s growing reputation as ineffectual. The Sony film by the Oscar-winning pair who made “The Hurt Locker” will no doubt reflect the president’s cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds. Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012 — perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher."
