Kathryn Bigelow

Kathryn Bigelow was searching for her next film as soon as she won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director for The Hurt Locker. Earlier in 2011, Bigelow said her next project would be tackling the story of the last years of Osama bin Laden's life. Now, a U.S. congressman is having issues with her choice.

The Osama bin Laden inspired film will hit theaters on October 12, 2012. Bigelow will reunite with The Hurt Locker writer Mark Boal.

The studio bought the distribution rights to the film. It follows the black ops mission that eventually killed Osama Bin Laden.

The director was already doing a film about Bin Laden. She will now incorporate his death into the script.
