Trailer For The WWII Action Thriller BATTLE FOR SAIPAN Starring Casper Van Dien
Saban Films has released a trailer for an upcoming World War II action film titled Battle for Saipan, which is based on the true story of the actual "Battle of Saipan." It doesn’t look like the best war movie, but I’ll watch it!
The film stars Casper Van Dien (Alita: Battle Angel) and Louis Mandylor (Rambo: Last Blood) and it’s described as an edge-of-your-seat World War II epic action thriller.
On July 7th, 1944, “a US Army hospital located on the remote island of Saipan is overrun by Japanese forces during a relentless attack. Outgunned and surrounded by the enemy, a lone medic (Van Dien) puts it all on the line to lead a band of wounded warriors to safety.”
The film was directed by Brandon Slagle (The Dark Avengers, Subject 87, Area 51 Confidential, The Black Dahlia Haunting, Dead Sea, House of Manson, Escape from Ensenada, Crossbreed, The Dawn, Attack of the Unknown) and the cast also includes Jeff Fahey, Louis Mandylor, Jennifer Wenger, Devanny Pinn, Natalia Nikolaeva, Eoin O'Brien, and Josh Riley.
The funniest thing about this jingoistic war film is Casper Van Dien, who usually plays the badass tough guy, starring as the sensitive surgeon this time.
Saban Films will release Battle For Saipan in select theaters and on VOD on November 25th, 2022.
