American Sniper: first trailer for Clint Eastwood's real-life drama hits the web (The Guardian)

The first trailer for Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper, starring Bradley Cooper as a navy seal dubbed the deadliest gunman in US military history, has hit the web.

The true-life drama, based on US soldier Chris Kyle’s bestselling 2012 autobiography, also stars Sienna Miller as Kyle’s wife, Taya Renae Kyle.

The trailer comprises a harrowing clip from the film in which the sniper must choose whether to gun down an Iraqi woman and child who appear to be mounting a suicide attack, interspersed with flashbacks to the soldier’s life in America with his own wife and children.
