Trailer For The War Drama THE GREAT WAR Tells the Story of the Buffalo Soldiers of WWI
We’ve got an interesting trailer for an indie action drama entitled The Great War. The film was written and directed by Steven Luke, who has previous credits under the name Luke Schuetzle, such as Dust of War and War Pigs. Clearly, he’s a big fan of the genre. Here’s the synopsis for the film:
During the final days of World War I in 1918, a regiment of daring African-American "Buffalo Soldiers" is trapped deep behind enemy lines. After one of these soldiers manages to escape, he’s ordered to join a select team of white troops, led by a battle-scarred officer, to find and rescue the survivors. Casting aside their racial differences, the determined men join forces to find their lost comrades in this gripping, action-filled tale of bravery and unity.
The film’s cast includes Bates Wilder (Joy), Hiram Murray (General Hospital), Billy Zane (Titanic), Rich Lowe (The Least of All), Bill Cooper (Prodigal), and Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy). This looks fairly low budget for a war movie, but hopefully it will have a great story to carry it through. Check out the trailer below, and see The Great War in theaters and on VOD on December 13th.
