A24’s first harrowing trailer for Warfare puts viewers into the claustrophobic confines of a battle that took place in 2006 in Iraq. The action’s based on the memories of soldiers who survived the bloody engagement.
Alex Garland co-wrote and co-directed Warfare with ex-Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, who served as the military supervisor on Garland’s Civil War. Per A24, the gritty war drama “embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real-time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.”
D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, and Taylor John Smith star. The cast also includes Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton.
Mendoza joined the Navy in 1997 and served as a member of SEAL Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and BUD/s instructor for over 16 years. According to Military Times, Special Warfare Operator First Class (SEAL) Ray Mendoza received the Silver Star for “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Lead Communicator, Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Ramadi, in direct support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM on 19 November 2006.”
Mendoza and former Army Ranger Jariko Denman co-founded War Office Productions and have consulted/advised on productions including The Long Road Home, Project Power, The Outpost, Rebel Ridge, Lone Survivor, and Act of Valor.
