Brad Pitt’s latest war epic features an interesting collection of Hollywood stars, with ‘Shooter’ sidekick and committed Scientologist Michael Pena appearing alongside papparazzi arch-enemy Shia le Beouf.
The trailer reveals a character-based movie, which will unfairly suffer pre-emptive comparisons with ‘Saving Private Ryan’, that uses character specific story lines to break up the intensity of action-heavy fighting. Director David Ayer, the mind behind docu-style LA police film ‘End of Watch’ (2012), has promised that this will be a “movie about World War 2 the likes of which we haven’t seen before”.
Whilst that remains to be seen, it will be a test of Pitt’s star quality to return to a leading role after his acclaimed appearance as a supporting actor in Oscar sensation ’12 Years a Slave’. Perhaps he’ll be taking some advice from an elder statesman of the Hollywood screen and best friend, George Clooney, who has just chosen him as his best man.
