Brutally Intense Trailer for Alex Garland's War Thriller WARFARE with Will Poulter and Joesph Quinn
A24 has released a brutally intense trailer for the upcoming war thriller Warfare, which was co-directed by Alex Garland (Civil War) and the Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, who is telling his own stories from his memory of what it was like to be there. The movie also plays out in real time.
The synopsis reads: “Based on ex-Navy Seal Ray Mendoza's real-life experiences as a soldier during the Iraq War. Mendoza joined the Navy in 1997 and served for over 16 years as a Member of SEAL Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and BUD/s instructor.
“He was awarded a Silver Star 'for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Lead Communicator, Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Ramadi, in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on November 19, 2006.“
The movie has a big ensemble cast that includes Will Poulter, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, Michael Gandolfini, Joesph Quinn and Charles Melton.
This looks like it’s going to deliver a hardcore and honest depiction of war and the hell these soldiers go through.
Warfare is co-written and co-directed by Garland and Mendoza. Mendoza was the military advisor who also worked on Garland’s Civil War. The movie is set to land in theaters sometime early in 2025.
