Movie Trailer for THE BANG BANG CLUB with Ryan Phillippe and Taylor Kitsch

Here's the first official trailer for The Bang Bang Club starring Ryan Phillippe and Taylor Kitsch as combat photographers in South Africa in the early ’90s. The film also stars Malin Akerman. The film is a true story based on a memoir by the two photographers, Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, played in the film by Philippe and Neels Van Jaarsveld. The movie looks pretty intense.

Synopsis:

The Bang Bang Club is the real life story of a group of four young combat photographers – Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Kevin Carter and Ken Oosterbroek – bonded by friendship and their sense of purpose to tell the truth. They risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. This intense political period brought out their best work (two won Pulitzers during the period) but cost them a heavy price. Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillippe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth.

The film is set to be released on April 22nd. Watch the trailer for the film below and tell us what you think.
