AMERICAN SNIPER Trailer and Poster: Bradley Cooper Deadliest Sniper in U.S. History

The first trailer and poster for director Clint Eastwood's war drama "American Sniper" have been released. The film stars Bradley Cooper ("Silver Linings Playbook") as U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who served four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq and earned a reputation as "The Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. History". Initially, Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct but had to drop out and was replaced by Eastwood. Sienna Miller, Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes, Navid Negahban and Keir O’Donnell also star.

"American Sniper" will receive a limited release in theaters on December 25th, probably for awards season eligibility reasons.

Official Synopsis

"From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind."
