There’s a brand new trailer for War Machine, the upcoming satirical war drama comedy movie written and directed by David Michod and starring Brad Pitt
WAR MACHINE
“In a film for our times, writer-director David MichĂ´d (Animal Kingdom) recreates a U.S. General’s roller-coaster rise and fall as part reality, part savage parody – raising the specter of just where the line between them lies today. His is an anti-establishment, pro-soldier exploration in the form of an absurdist war story of a born leader’s ultra-confident march right into the dark heart of folly. At the story’s core is Brad Pitt’s sly take on a successful, charismatic four-star general who leapt in like a rock star to command NATO forces in Afghanistan, only to be taken down by his own hubris and a journalist’s no-holds-barred expose. War Machine addresses the debt we owe to soldiers to question the purposes to which they are being directed.”
A quote from the trailer: “You’re not here to win, you’re here to clean up the mess.” Well, sounds about right… Afghanistan is a hellhole!
Besides Brad Pitt, the cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Ben Kingsley, Anthony Michael Hall, Topher Grace, Will Poulter, Lakeith Stanfield, Emory Cohen, John Magaro, RJ Cyler, Alan Ruck, Scoot McNairy, and Meg Tilly.
The movie War Machine will be released on Netflix on May 26, 2017.
