Los Angeles Filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal are closing in the cast of their Osama Bin Laden movie, inspired by the story of Navy SEAL Team Six's take-down of the terrorist leader.

Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Edgar Ramirez, Mark Strong as well Chris Pratt and Jason Clarke are in negotiations to join the movie, which will shoot this year for a planned December 19 release.

The filmmakers are eyeing a February start date, said The Hollywood Reporter.

Columbia Pictures picked up US distribution rights to the project in May 2011.

Bigelow and Boal, the duo behind the Oscar-winning film 'The Hurt Locker', had been working for some time on the project in the context of the hunt for Bin Laden and were eyeing a summer 2011 start when the terrorist's killing by a black ops team changed the project.

Boal spent the latter part of the year incorporating the developments into the script which caused a delay to the project.
