When Kyle Chandler opens his mouth, you listen. That’s likely why director Kathryn Bigelow has cast the “Friday Night Lights” and “Super 8″ actor as a CIA agent in her Hunt for Bin Laden movie.

The untitled pic, starring Joel Edgerton and Jason Clarke, fixes on Navy SEAL Team 6′s mission to take down Osama Bin Laden (Apparently Bigelow and writer Mark Boal somehow scored some inside information on the mission from some deep throats within).

The movie, due out in December, features a large ensemble – not unlike the one Bigelow grouped for “The Hurt Locker”; among the other cast members, Chris Pratt, Jessica Chastain, Mark Strong and Edgar Ramirez.

Emmy-winner Chandler recently wrapped on the Mark Wahlberg/Russell Crowe flick “Broken City”.
