Christmas just got a lot more interesting thanks to Clint Eastwood.
The Oscar-winning director has a new film called “American Sniper” dropping this December starring Bradley Cooper and the powerfully intense trailer just hit the web.
In the clip, Cooper plays Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. He’s on a roof, sniper rifle aimed, locked and loaded, methodically monitoring and detailing the unidentified people that appear while soldiers are on convoy in war-torn Iraq.
“Hold on, I got a woman and a kid 200 yards out, moving towards the convoy,” he says with alarm. “Her arms aren’t swinging, she’s carrying something. She’s got a grenade, she’s got an RKG Russian grenade she’s handing to the kid…”
The suspense then builds to a heightened crescendo as the sound of a heart beat grows louder, images of his family flash by and the base command tells him it’s “his call” on whether or not to take the kill shot.
“They fry you if you’re wrong,” says his spotter.
The film is based on Chris Kyle’s best-selling memoir about his life as the most lethal sniper in American military history.
“American Sniper,” which also stars Jake McDorman, Luke Grimes and Sienna Miller, hits theaters on Christmas Day in a limited release and expands nationwide on January 16.
