Clint Eastwood Talks AMERICAN SNIPER In New Featurette – Opens In IMAX Theatres on Jan. 16

Director Clint Eastwood discusses his latest film, AMERICAN SNIPER, in this brand new featurette from Warner Bros. Pictures.

This week, the film received award nominations from the American Cinema Editors, Producers Guild, Art Directors Guild, and Writers Guild. It undoubtedly is one of the best films you will see this year.

Eastwood says of his movie, “What we all hope is that it will remind people of the sacrifices of soldiers and their families and make people even more appreciative of those who have given so much in service of their country.”

From director Clint Eastwood comes AMERICAN SNIPER, starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, whose skills as a sniper made him a hero on the battlefield. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.

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 spirit of the SEAL creed to “leave no one behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

A two-time Oscar nominee for his work in “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle,” Cooper heads the cast, which also includes Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes, Jake McDorman, Cory Hardrict, Kevin Lacz, Navid Negahban and Keir O’Donnell.

The screenplay, written by Jason Hall, is based on the book by Chris Kyle, with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice. The autobiography was a runaway bestseller, spending 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, 13 of those at number one.

IMAX, Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures announced that AMERICAN SNIPER will be released into domestic IMAX theatres on Jan.16, 2015.
