|
 |
Written by Simon Beaufoy and Jean-Christophe Castelli, based on the 2012 novel by Ben Fountain, three time Oscar winner Ang Lee will direct it.
The film will be shot natively in 3D, with 4K cameras running at 120fps, something unheard of! The director of photography is the two time Oscar winner John Toll.

The plot:
| Quote: | The book, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, centres on a group of US servicemen who emerge unscathed from a firefight in Iraq in 2005 and are brought home by the Bush administration for a victory lap, culminating with a turn at the Dallas Cowboys stadium as part of the team's Thanksgiving halftime show. It has been described by the Observer's Robert McCrum as "a clever and imaginative take on the classic American combat novel" with shades of "New Journalism" guru Tom Wolfe.
Fountain's book, which has also been dubbed the Catch 22 of the Iraq war, was nominated for the US National Book award this year. The story is told from the viewpoint of Billy Lynn, the 19-year-old infantryman of the title. |
The cast:
| Quote: | Joe Alwyn
Garrett Hedlund
Kristen Stewart
Vin Diesel

Chris Tucker |
Release date: November 11, 2016

Just the thought of another American faux-anti-war-but-still-murican-patriotism makes me quite Ang Lee.

Hmm Vin Diesel. Hopefully it's good Vin Diesel, and not mushmouth, I gargle with gravel Vin Diesel.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty
