Anyone heard of Kathryn Bigelow? No? Have you heard about The Hurt Locker? If not, your about to hear a lot more about out with the awards season about to heat up. It's poised to win Best Picture at the Golden Globes and nominated for an Oscar. Kathryn Bigelow is the director who brought the world The Hurt Locker and K19: The Widow Maker.
Anyways, the reason we're talking about Kathryn Bigelow is because she's just been attached to a movie called "Held by the Taliban". Which is based on a NY Times article titled "7 Months, 10 Days in Captivity" about a reporter who was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan. To me, that already sounds awesome without Bigelow. Given her expertise in nitty-gritty war films, though, this movie is already on my top watch list.
I loved The Hurt Locker, I would be A-Ok if were to win best pic at the Oscars. You can even read my review of the film here. This movie will take Bigelow back to the region she became fond of in her last film.
JUST KIDDING! New reports from MTV Movies state that Kathryn Bigelow really isn't attached to the film. Damn, cause I was really excited. So, now we can hope and wish for this post to come to fruition!
Anyone else think this sounds awesome?
well...........wtf.
