Silent Hawk pic - or film prop?

Here's a shot that may be of interest:



Speculation on Wired magazine that it is most likely a prop for the new Bigelow film `Zero-Dark-Thirty' about the operation to kill Bin Laden.

Source article here.

If it's Hollywood - looks like they've done a pretty convincing estimation; F117-era nose and fuselage facets, intake diffusers (?) arcuate BERP-type rotor tips.
Only thing I could fault them on is that the main rotor diameter looks pretty damn small for an airframe of Blackhawk size.
What say you, military helo drivers?
Mods - posted here because it seemed more military pilot than Rotorheads.

I know they're Spams - but I can't wait to see the film.
