Trailer for Ethan Hawke's Drone Warfare Thriller - GOOD KILL
Andrew Niccol, the director behind films such as Gattaca, Lord of War, and The Host, has made a new film called Good Kill. This is a war-based thriller that centers around a drone pilot played by Ethan Hawke, who is struggling with his job and the missions that he is ordered to complete.
Niccol and Hawke worked together already on the fantastic film Gattaca, and it's great to see them back together again. This looks like a great film, and it has a solid supporting cast which includes Bruce Greenwood, Jake Abel, January Jones, and Zoe Kravitz. Here's the synopsis:
A fighter-pilot turned drone-pilot, based in Las Vegas, fights the Taliban by remote control for twelve hours a day, then goes home to the suburbs and feuds with his wife and kids for the other twelve. But the pilot is starting to question the mission. Is he creating more terrorists than he’s killing? Is he fighting a war without end? One soldier’s tale with epic implications.
The movie will be released this year, but there's no exact date set yet.
