Check out the first official trailer of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, the upcoming war drama movie directed by Ang Lee and starring Joe Alwyn, Vin Diesel, Kristen Stewart, Steve Martin, Makenzie Leigh, Chris Tucker, and Garrett Hedlund:
BILLY LYNN’S LONG HALFTIME WALK
To walk the path of a hero,
you have to see how it all began.
From the visionary mind that brought you Life of Pi.
Academy Award-Winning Director Ang Lee takes you to the front lines of the human spirit.
Discoverer true courage!
Based on the best-selling novel by Ben Fountain
“Director Ang Lee brings his extraordinary vision to Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, based on the widely-acclaimed, bestselling novel. The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions. The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin. Lee used new technology, shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the first time in film history, to create an immersive digital experience helping him dramatize war in a way never seen before.”
Strange trailer, I can’t say am hooked yet, but am curious to see how the film will turn out. And you?
The film will be released in theaters on November 11, 2016.
