American Sniper trailer: Generates Oscar buzz for Bradley Cooper
BRADLEY Cooper stars in Clint Eastwood’s latest movie, American Sniper. The trailer has just dropped and it’s a doozy.
WARNER Bros. dropped the first trailer for Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper and it’s a doozy.
The two-minute clip focuses on Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in United States history, and provides a brief window into what kind of decisions he was asked to make during his time as a Navy SEAL.
Bradley Cooper plays Kyle in Eastwood’s film, and from the extra bulk on Cooper’s frame to his Texan accent, it’s the kind of part that could put the two-time Oscar nominee in line for a third straight nod.
Either way, keep American Sniper on your long list of Oscar contenders for one simple reason: Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby, which had a similar “surprise” release in 2004, went on to win Best Picture.
