Everyone has been talking about The Hurt Locker eversince it bagged six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow. CS gives you more information about this must-watch film:u00a0 <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/mar/Biglow.jpg" border="5" /> &gt;&gt;u00a0The title is slang for being injured in an explosion, as in 'they sent him to the hurt locker' or to a place of ultimate pain. It dates back to the Vietnam War, where it was one of several phrases meaning in trouble or in bad shape. &gt;&gt;u00a0The film shoot had few of the normal Hollywood perks; nobody on the set got an air-conditioned trailer or a private bathroom. Lead actor Jeremy Renner said that great care was taken to ensure the film's authenticity. He even got shot a few times during the filming. &gt;&gt;u00a0Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Oscar for the Best Director and it was James Cameron who convinced his ex-wife to direct this film. &gt;&gt;u00a0The film was shot on location in Jordan. Part of the shoot (one week) was to take place in Kuwait on a US Military Base. But, access was denied. &gt;&gt;u00a0Jordan is a safe place. So safe that actors didn't want to have bodyguards. &gt;&gt;u00a0Colin Farrell, Willem Dafoe and Charlize Theron were originally meant to star in the film.
