“Marines! This is war! This is real war!” Netflix has revealed one more official trailer for Peter Berg’s new WWII action thriller The Mosquito Bowl – full-on red band trailer with bloody violence following these boys onto Okinawa in The Pacific. It’s hitting theaters this weekend before it’s on Netflix later in November. Based on a remarkable true story (covered in this book), after the attack on Pearl Harbor, four of America’s top college football stars set their fame aside to enlist in the US Marines. As the nation geared up for total war, one branch of the service dominated the aspirations of college football stars: the United States Marine Corps. This story is the retelling of a football match 🏈, on Christmas Eve of 1944, when the 4th and 29th Marine regiments found themselves in the middle of the Pacific Ocean training for what would ultimately be the bloodiest battle of the war ― the invasion of Okinawa ― their ranks included one of the greatest pools of football talent ever assembled: Former All Americans, captains from Wisconsin, Brown & Notre Dame, and many others. The movie’s main cast features Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Ray Nicholson, Tom Francis, Brent Comer, Dominic Bogart. They played two other trailers for this movie already, but one more can’t hurt as they’re hoping it’ll be a big war movie box office hit this fall… How brutal does that look?
Here’s the final red band trailer for Peter Berg’s WWII film The Mosquito Bowl, direct from YouTube:
