Critics say the movie could amount to a $30 million political ad for President Barack Obama, who has been campaigning the fact that the al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was assassinated on his watch.

But the official Zero dark Thirty trailer has been released. It is highly stylized assortment of clips from the movie, most of them made to look like satellite images people might see if somebody were in the CIA war room.

There are 2 mentions of Osama bin Laden, but none of US President Barack Obama. And the film’s screenwriter told Entertainment Weekly magazine that Barack Obama’s not mentioned in the film either.

Zero Dark Thirty, portrays the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden, the man behind the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. American forces chased him through the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2001, but ultimately lost the trail.

Conservative legal group Judicial Watch uncovered nearly 3 hundred pages of documents detailing special access film director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal received from the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon as they researched the controversial movie.

It has been noted that the Barack Obama Administration has seemingly rolled out the red carpet for the filmmakers, but worked to limit access by independent journalists to information about the May 2011 raid.

One of the e-mails obtained by Judicial Watch quotes Under-Secretary of Defense Michael Vickers telling movie director Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal that they could speak with the Navy SEAL planner who commanded the raid, but could not name him because he should not be talking out of school.

Some conservative groups have told the filmmakers received access to classified information, as well – all in an effort to ensure the US president Barack Obama White House is painted in the most favorable light.
