KARACHI: The release of ‘Zero Dark Thirty’, the film about the hunt for 9/11 mastermind, Osama Bin Laden, which was scheduled to release in October, has been put back until December 2012, a date after the US presidential election.
The film has already drawn criticism from film fraternities for having been “granted access to sensitive security information to make the film.”
Obama administration is under fire for an "extremely close, unprecedented and potentially dangerous collaboration" with the filmmakers.
Film’s producer Kathryn Bigelow's reportedly met Pentagon officials several times to get the information for the storyline.
Republicans were worried about reminding Americans right before presidential election, that the mastermind of 9/11 was caught when Barack Obama held the office.
This is just another film delayed due to presidential elections as Steven Spielberg also announced his time release of ‘Lincoln’, to avoid election.
"The movie will be purposely coming out AFTER next year's election. I didn't want it to become political fodder," he said.
