Coming to theaters nationwide on December 15th, 2006, the Blood Diamond movie trailer (click the Blood Diamond pic in the box below) shows Leonardo DiCaprio in this action/drama film set in a world of South African Diamond smuggling. Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou also star in the film.

This Warner Bros. feature is set in the chaotic 1990s Sierra Leone. A rare pink Diamond is able to transform the lives of the two main actors. The problem is that troubled territory is between them and the Diamond. The two must make a dangerous quest to retrieve it. This drama looks to be very intense and emotional as anyone that knows what the role of diamonds play in that part of the world can attest to in times of conflict. A blood Diamond, or conflict Diamond, is a Diamond mined in a conflict or war zone, and usually used to finance military efforts.

Leonardo DiCaprio has also starred in Titanic, Kings of New York, Catch Me if You Can, and as Billy Costigan in The Departed.
