Per wiki:
Shooting for the film is in progress at Punjab, India within miles of New Delhi, the Indian capital, and Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was found and killed in May 2011. Some parts of Chandigarh were turned into Lahore and Abbottabad scenes, both Pakistani cities. There have been reports of Hindu protests against the Pakistani portrayal on Indian land.

Scott Adkins?
What kind of movie is this? Because the rest of the cast doesn't really scream action movie.
Colour me intrigued.

Yes, that Scott Adkins. I could buy him as a SEAL. He's certainly built like one.

Yeah, I can buy him as a SEAL but Mark Strong? Love the actor to death but he'd look miscast next to Adkins.

Fair enough. Other than Adkins, who else in that cast list could possibly portray a believable SEAL? Or do all the other no-name SEALs bite it early on and the rest of the cast are people that Scott Adkin's lone survivor SEAL meets along the the way?

Honestly if you've seen real life Navy SEALs you'll know they aren't all 6'3" guys who are ripped. The Discovery Channel had a SEALs documentary and a lot of them looked like regular guys. Of course that doesn't make them any less badass.

Well that's good cos Scott Adkins is 5 ft 10 in. I've seen the actual SEALs and I'm aware than none of them are 80's Schwarzenneger. But Adkins exudes badass. The other actors are gonna really have to bring it to look feel badass compared to him.

I'm almost positive that Jessica Chastain chick has made a deal with the Devil. How else can you explain such a nobody coming out of nowhere and continually getting high profile roles?

At least she's a good actress. I'd be bad if she was some block of wood or a horrible overactor.

Chris Pratt is an interesting choice here as a SEAL. It's going to be tough seeing Andy from Parks & Rec killing bad guys.

I can see most of the actors as potential SEALs but Chris Pratt has to be playing some background guy in the command room, no way they put a gun in his hands.

this is such lame propaganda. there has been no convincing evidence that bin laden was really killed that day, except 'because we said so'. it was just a political lie to get obama some more points.

No. I obviously meant Sam Worthington.

In case you are, Al Queda themselves confirmed that Bin Laden had been killed.

A year ago today he was killed.
Edit: I'm a few days early on that one. Sorry, CNN gave me bad info.
