Mark-Strong-Zero-Dark-ThirtyReleased no more than two years since the death of Osama bin Laden, director Kathryn Bigelow certainly hasn’t waited around in bringing this incredible story to the big screen, and we discussed the film’s quick turnaround with one of its leading stars Mark Strong.

Strong plays George, a CIA operative assisting Maya (Jessica Chastain) on her hunt to find the leader of the terrorist group al-Qaeda leader. Strong tells us of his own personal research methods, and how he approaches a role that is very real and contemporary.

Strong also discusses his thoughts on the films Oscar buzz, working alongside such an all star cast, while he also lets us in on some thoughts about his next big project Welcome to the Punch.
