The man who sends the ladies hearts a-flutter, Idris Elba, is reportedly now in deep discussions to join the cast of director Kathryn Bigelow's yet unititled action thriller about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden for Sony Pictures. He would co-star in the film along with possibility of Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce who are both also in negotiations to star in the film.

The film, which will be Bigelow's first project since her Oscar winning film The Hurt Locker, is scheduled to start production early next year, for a late 2012 release.
