I really miss seeing Peter Berg on the big-screen. He’s given impressive performances in the likes of COP LAND, THE LAST SEDUCTION and FIRE IN THE SKY, yet of late, he’s more content to bring us blockbuster disappointments with HANCOCK and BATTLESHIP. It’s not all bad though, having shown he can direct a decent film with both FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (aka THE RUNDOWN) stand-outs in this directorial resume. Many also love his debut VERY BAD THINGS, although I remember it being distinctly average. Maybe I’ll revisit and give it another chance.
Berg’s latest is set in 2005, the fact-based war drama LONE SURVIVOR. It will depict the mission of a team of Navy SEALs, who were ambushed while in Afghanistan and is based on the same-titled novel by squad leader Marcus Tuttrell. It’s a harrowing true-life tale charting their gruelling survival efforts while in ill-fated Taliban territory.
The Universal Pictures effort is led by Mark Wahlberg as Tuttrell and co-stars Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch and Eric Bana. The film opens in limited theaters on 27th December before going wide on 10th January. We in the UK must wait until 21st February. Check out the first trailer, poster and stills. One for Awards season and this years ZERO DARK THIRTY?
