Steven Spielberg has finally decided on a name for his new movie due out this Christmas. The aptly named Munich will chronicle the true story of the secret Israeli hit squad sent to assassinate those thought to be responsible for the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Eric Bana heads an international cast for the thriller that is already being given the Oscar-talk treatment. Munich is slated for a December 23rd release.
