I was expecting this one to not have a score, seeing how hyper-realistic it is trying to be.
Meanwhile, the rival project (Code Name: Geronimo) will be scored by Paul Haslinger. Though this one has the better composer, I have a feeling the other film will be better (since it's avoiding politics in favor of action).
I dunno, I don't think many people agree with you there. That film looks like a cheapo cash-in flick with no names, while this one is from an Academy Award winning director and Academy Award winning writer and stars some of the most in-demand young actors in Hollywood.

I've only seen Rooney Mara in two films, but I thought she was a strong presence in both. (I can't compare her to Noomi Rapace's take on the famous Girl as I haven't seen the Swedish version.)

I wouldn't exactly call actors like William Fichtner, Anson Mount and Freddy Rodriguez no-names. Sure they aren't big stars but they are familiar character actors and the type of people who could have fun with a B-movie that you know won't take itself seriously.
I'm not sure a movie about one of the most important historical events of the last few years should do anything but take itself seriously. And the filmmakers have promised that they're not trying to make a political piece, but follow the CIA hunt for Bin Laden and the resulting mission to kill him. The other film is only about the mission, as I understand it.
I know people keep talking about the movie as if it will have a political slant, but I'm trusting the filmmakers when they swear that's not their intention at all.
This is a film combining multiple Oscar winners and nominees, with a prime Oscar release date.
Code Name Geronimo appears to be going direct to video in the UK, and has no release date here:

Again, you're entitled to your opinion on the merits of the two films, but I don't think you'll find it's widely shared.

Getting back to the subject of Desplat's score... I'm very excited to hear what he will do. I suspect we all think it will sound like SYRIANA, as we probably suspect ARGO will as well. Curious if we'll be right.

That and it's got Rooney Mara in it (despite an Oscar nomination that only happened because of Fincher, she is an awful actress).
FYI - she's not in this film.

So she was cut? That ups my interest from "no way" to "you're going to need a better trailer".
I googled "Rooney Mara" "Zero Dark Thirty". It looks like she never filmed any scenes, was only rumored to be in it as roles were being cast.
And there hasn't been a full trailer yet, only a teaser with voices and a series of maps, then some jump cut images at the end.
